jcalhky has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have this script that searches the given location. Right now it searches the subfolders in that directory. I don't want it to search the subfolders. What can I do to make my script only search the files in the directory?

Thanks

find( \&filehandler, "L:\\renws\\billing\\uploadh");

for my $filename ( sort keys %directories ) {
    my @dirlist = @{$directories{ $filename } };
    if ( scalar @dirlist > 0 ) {
     for ( @dirlist ) {
     my $RP1file = $_;
     my $local_file1 ="C:\\$RP1file";
     my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host,Timeout=>240);
        $ftp->login;
        $ftp->cwd($path);
               $ftp->get($RP1file,$local_file1);
               $ftp->delete($RP1file);
               $ftp->quit;
            }
        }   # if
    }   # for

sub filehandler {
#Check that it's a file, not a directory
    return unless -f $File::Find::name;

# Just take the filename, convert to lowercase
    my $nameonly = $_;

    # See if it's a RP1 file
    return unless $nameonly = /.RP1/;

$directories{ $nameonly }= [] unless defined $directories{$nameonly };
    push( @{$directories{ $nameonly } }, $_ );
    }

    File::Find::Rule has a maxdepth method to limit how far down the tree to look.

    YuckFind 

    #!/usr/bin/perl

  use strict;

  use File::Find::Rule;
  use Data::Dumper;

  my @dirs = (
    'L:\\renws\\billing\\uploadh',
  );

  my @files = File::Find::Rule
                ->file()
                ->maxdepth(1)
                ->name(qr/.RP1/)
                ->in(@dirs);

  print Dumper \@files;
