Re: Empty directory

You could try something like:

opendir (DH, "dir-name") or warn $!;
@list = readdir (DH);
closedir (DH);
[download]

Then check @list to see if any files are present.
Note Even in an empty directory you should find . and ..
Hope this helps.

If you want to check for files only you may do: `opendir (DIR, $dir) or die "cannot opendir $dir"; my @only_files = grep {-f "$dir/$_"} readdir(DIR); closedir (DIR);` [download] marcos	[reply] [d/l]
