Re^4: Trouble opening and reading file within loop (readdir)

Yes I read readdir, I'm assuming "file testing the return values out of a readdir" is my case of why I can't use it? I used glob like you said. No more errors, but I get no output to STDOUT. I placed "print "$file\n" at the end of my first for loop and I see the files are being iterated through, but the guts of the script where I'm trying to find names and object-groups is not showing any output.

Yes, that part, if you're reading from "Foo/" getting a file of "Bar" and then you try to open "Bar" its not going to work as you need to open "Foo/Bar" used glob like you said. No more errors, but I get no output to STDOUT.

This is where subroutines play important part. Consider this version Read more...
