Re: Searching Sub Dir for Files

When you run through the results from "opendir" you can perform this:
lets say your path of the directory you are searching is:
/home/user/searchdir
then you can use the following "if" statement in your loop:

if(-d "/home/user/searchdir/$dir")
[download]

That statement will tell you whether its a directory. Hope that helps.....

Cool, that will help alot. I would still need to know how you would write something similar to File:Find if you cant use the module. Im guessing this wouldnt be something that is fairly easy to write?!? Thanks again all... Fue	[reply]

File::Find is a standard module, so you should always be able to use it. You can take a look at the source if you're interested, ofcourse :-) "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Would I be able to install it on my home_dir even though I dont have SA permissions? IS the install on Unix hard to do? Thanks... Fue	[reply]
