in thread Find a list of numbered files with same basename

Why is this not returning anything? The files exit the format is correct but glob does not populate the array.

sub find_files{
my ($dir, $db, $table) = @_;
my $file = "$dir" ."/" . "$db.$table.[0-9][0-9]";
print "$file\n";

my @files = glob $file;
foreach my $found_file (@files){
print "$found_file\n";
}

return @files;
}

we need to know how you are calling find_files and your dir structure to see what's going wrong. What's the output from the 'print "$file\n"' line?	[reply]
