in reply to How can one create a text file in the subfolder of a folder?

Hello supriyoch_2008,

Try something like that.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use File::Basename; use File::Path qw/make_path/; my $file = "/home/tinyos/Monks/SubFolder/foo.txt"; my $dir = dirname($file); make_path($dir); open my $fh, '>', $file or die "Ouch: $!\n"; print $fh $dir . "\n"; close $fh or die "Can not close file: $!\n"; __END__ $ perl dir.pl ~/Monks$ ll total 44 drwxr-xr-x 3 tinyos tinyos 4096 Apr 22 11:43 ./ drwxr-xr-x 31 tinyos tinyos 4096 Apr 22 10:34 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 tinyos tinyos 299 Apr 22 11:43 dir.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 tinyos tinyos 214 Apr 22 11:39 dir.pl~ -rw-r--r-- 1 tinyos tinyos 2215 Apr 22 01:12 excel.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 tinyos tinyos 2182 Apr 20 00:53 excel.pl~ -rw-r--r-- 1 tinyos tinyos 5632 Apr 22 01:12 perl.xls -rw-r--r-- 1 tinyos tinyos 6656 Apr 19 20:43 Report.xls drwxr-xr-x 2 tinyos tinyos 4096 Apr 22 11:42 SubFolder/ ~/Monks$ cat SubFolder/foo.txt /home/tinyos/Monks/SubFolder

Hope this helps.
