I have this code, and its suppose to lookup the files given a $path. The problem is that it doesn't show hidden files. What should i do?
sub browse_content { my ($widget,$path,$type,@ext) = @_; # $type = 0-Both / 1-File / 2-Folder # $path =~ s/\/$//; $path =~ s/ /\\ /; my @files = (); my $ext_count = @ext; if($ext_count>0){ my $filter = undef; foreach my $ex (@ext){ $filter = $filter . $ex . ','; } $filter =~ s/,$//; @files = <$path/*.{$filter}>; }else{ @files = <$path/*>; } my @return = (); if($type == 0){ return @files; }else{ foreach my $file (@files) { if(-d $file){ if($type == 2){ push @return, $file; } }else{ if($type == 1){ push @return, $file; } } } } return @return; }
