Hi Monks!

I need to check if some code letter is part of a file name, and if its not, ignore the file, having issues trying to do this without a loop since I am already in a "for" loop. If I have no choice I would use another loop.
Here is a sample code to show what I am trying to do:
... my @array_code = qw(x-01 x-02 x-03 x-04 v-05 v-06 v-07 x-08 x-09 x-10 +x-11); for my $file (read_dir( $dir_list, prefix => 1 )) { #files will be: 1234567_x-01_2013_03.txt 1234667_x-03_2013_03.txt + 0034567_y-01_2013_03.txt 1234567_v-01_2013_03.txt 1233567_v-05_2013_ +03.txt 1234567_x-55_2013_03.txt next if grep { /$file/ } @array_code; # not working next if(! -f $file || -s $file < $min_size) ; if(-s $file <= $max_size) { push @files, $file; }else { push @bigsize_files, $file; } } ...
Thanks for the help!
