in reply to Reading a Properties file

I searched CPAN for "properties" and found Config::Properties. Is that useful? You might need to be a little clearer about what you mean by a "properties file".

    Hello

    properties file i mean to say basically a text file with
    that format...so that the script will be independent
    and if i change the target directory i can do
    it in text file and my script won't be touched it should work with that change
    and if i want to add say *.xls
    i can add it in text file and no need of changing the script
    hope am clear


    Thanks & Regards

      In that case, your best approach is probably to pick one of the existing config file parsing modules and adjust your config file to match that syntax.

      Boy, do you ever read your own posts? If so, I wonder why you don't realize that </br> tags do absolutely nothing. Make that <br />, please.
