in reply to Re^2: Moving files
in thread Moving files


This is what i had at the beginning, at first it worked
because i was just moveing the files to another
folder on the c:, but when i start moveing
the files to a mapped drive all this started up so I tried
to rewrite it.
print "Enter the month and day (ex:0605)\n"; $date = <stdin>; chomp($date); move(c:/atmcaf00,K:/atm/atmcaf00$date); move(c:/atmcaf00,K:/atm/atmcaf01$date); move(c:/atmcaf00,K:/atm/atmcaf12$date); move(c:/atmcaf00,K:/atm/atmcmf01$date); move(c:/atmcaf00,K:/atm/atmcmf12$date); print "All the ATM files have been renamed and move to the ATM folder\ +n"; $wait = <stdin>;

    What I'm referring to is changing this code (extra blank lines removed for space considerations):
    sub moving { print "Moving $_ to the K:/ATM \n"; move("$old$_","$new$_$date"); print "$_ has been moved to the K:/ATM\n"; print "---------------------------------------------\n"; } foreach (@files) { &moving; }
    into something more like:
    foreach (@files) { print "Moving $_ to the K:/ATM \n"; move("$old$_","$new$_$date"); print "$_ has been moved to the K:/ATM\n"; print "---------------------------------------------\n"; }
    Personally I'd also use a named variable instead of $_, though, so I'd write something more like:
    foreach my $file (@files) { print "Moving $file to the K:/ATM \n"; move("$old$file","$new$file$date"); print "$file has been moved to the K:/ATM\n"; print "---------------------------------------------\n"; }
    But changing $_ to a named variable is not a functional change -- just makes the use of the loop variable a bit more clear.
