Re^2: shell to perl question

In case you're wondering exactly how that works, perl is implicitly splitting the output on a newline character, because it's being assigned to an array. The following is an equivalent, explicit version of what's going on.

my $files = `find ./Images | egrep '\.jpe?g$'`;
my @files = split(/\n/, $files);

UPDATE: My split was slightly off, as corrected below. Who does this guy think he is, correcting my code? ;-)

Close. Actually, it's equivalent to `my @files = split(/^/, $files);` [download] since it leaves the newlines on each indivdual list element.	[reply] [d/l]
