Hello Speed_Freak,

I would like also to propose a possible idea to your solution. Regarding the part So I need to search the project directory for the scratch folder, then find all of the files that match this pattern: "thing1_(ABC-def1g234567).foo__bar_ar". I would suggest to use the module File::Find::Rule.

Why to use this module? For many good reasons, from documentation Specifies names that should match. May be globs or regular expressions. also Do not apply any tests at levels less than $level (a non-negative integer). and many many other features. I other words you can define what files to find how deep to search recursively in subdirectories etc...etc...etc...

Sample of code in relevant question Re: Capturing and then opening multiple files.

Hope this helps, BR.
