Re: case insensitive filename matching

Get the list of all files in the filesystem, get the list of the files you want, and use grep:

grep { is_in(@mylist) } @files_in_the_filesystem

That'll give you the list of files you want (hopefully).

Of course, you'll have to code the is_in subroutine, which will probably contain a bit of code like this:

$newfile =~ /^$oldfile$/i

I hope that sets you in the right direction. Honk if you need more help :-)

`$newfile =~ /^$oldfile$/i` [download] As much as I like regexps, I would be much more likely to write that as: `if ( lc $newfile eq lc $oldfile )` [download] In my eyes, that's the canonical case-insensitive equality comparision. -- edan	[reply] [d/l] [select]
