Hi Monks,

I need to skip the files or directories that are not present in the directory.

I am reading a text file which contains directory names.

I am reading the contents of each directory in the file.

I want to print a warning message in the screen for the directories which are not present and continue processing other directories.

For example if the text file contains the following directories

DIR1,DIR2,DIR3,DIR4,DIR5;

If the directories DIR2 and DIR3 are not there, I just want to print a warning statement and conitnue processing the other directories.

I am using the following code

I am trying to use "continue" flow control statement
opendir DIR,$dir or continue{print"[WARNING]$dir not present\n"};
Can any one help me on this?

Thanks in advance
