Hi All,

please see the below code,

#sub change_ext_if_file {
    #foreach my $file ($_) {
     # if (($file eq -f) && ($file =~ /.pdf$/)) {
           # $file =~ s/.pdf/.doc/;

    #Above, better written as below, perhaps?
sub change_ext_if_file {
    my @files = $_;
    foreach my $file if ((@files eq -f) && (@files =~ /\.pdf$/)) {
            $file =~ s/pdf/doc/;
    }
    }

I'm guessing, going by some code suggestions above, that there is a quicker, cleaner way of achieving the end result, but, I'm just playing, to learn what things do, so I'm not looking, I guess, for shorter ways just yet. Hope that makes sense, and doesn't seem ungrateful? Cheers
