Hello monks,

my input is a directory. This directory contains files and directories. I want to print out all files and directories. I do NOT want to visit subdirectories.

Here you can see my script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

opendir( DIR, "D:/test_dir");
my @file_list = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);


print "Decision whether it is a file or a directory:\n";
foreach ( @file_list )
{
    if( (-d $_) ) 
    {
        print "directory: " . $_ . "\n";
    }

    if( (-f $_) )
    {
        print "file: " . $_ . "\n";
    }
}

print "\n\n";

print "Just print everything:\n";
foreach ( @file_list )
{
    print $_ . "\n";
}
[download]

And here the result of the script:

Decision whether it is a file or a directory:
directory: .
directory: ..


Just print everything:
.
..
abc
appl
asdf
Copy of ignore.txt
GpSw.chk
ignore.txt
vxos
[download]

If I just print out everything it is working. But I want to know which of the items found in the root directory is a file and which one is a directory. Why isn't it working?

Thank you very much

Greetings

Dirk
