Here is a script that I wrote which recurses down a win32 directory strcuture and writes a logfile which tells the directories and all the contents.. I think the recursion model might be useful for you. Although it doesn't use File::Find
#!/Perl/bin/perl use IO::File; use strict; print "Enter the directory to map: "; my $dir = <STDIN>; chomp($dir); my $log = new IO::File; $log->open(("> c:\\log.txt")) or die "$!"; $log->write("Map of: ".$dir."\n",length("Map of: ".$dir."\n")); $dir =~ s{\\}{\\\\}g; mapMe($dir); $log->close; ##Recursive routine to print out all the files & folders under a given + root node sub mapMe { #Get the parameter my $handle = shift; #Open the directory passed to the subroutine opendir(SPROUT,$handle); #read the entries my @entries = readdir(SPROUT); #Close the directory closedir(SPROUT); my $log_entry; #Skip the . and .. entries foreach my $i (2..scalar(@entries)) { #Format the handle for the next call my $param_handle = $handle."\\".$entries[$i]; #If its a directory and its not null if(opendir(TEST,$param_handle) and $entries[$i]) { #Close the directory closedir(TEST); #Strip the handle for log writing purposes $handle =~ s{\\\\}{\\}g; #Construct and write the log $log_entry = "\n".$handle."\\".$entries[$i]."\n"; $log->write($log_entry,length($log_entry)); #recurse the directory mapMe($param_handle); } elsif($entries[$i]) { #Construct and write the log $log_entry = "*".$entries[$i]."\n"; $log->write($log_entry,length($log_entry)); } } }
