Re: Processing all files in a directory

~~readdir does not return a list of all files. Each time it is called it returns the next name. That means you want a while loop for that.~~

To get a list of file names, call glob. It satisfies the need to skip dotfiles, too

(Added) Oops, sauoq is correct - going back to see what is really failing. - Ah - my $file = @_; in the subroutine. you probably mean my ($file) = @_; The former puts @_ in scalar context, making $file equal the number of arguments given.

readdir does not return a list of all files. It most certainly does, when called in list context. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]
