Re^2: How to search recursively and return specific patterns

Thanks guys for all your replies , i was not able to use File::Find:Rule or File::Find::Match as it is not present in the perl distribution we use. The last suggested script works for me. Would like to understand what m and $ stand for inside the if condition . if(-f && m/\.(mp3|rm)$/) Thanks again, Jude Dilip.

That's a regex. 'm' means match the pattern following, and '$' means 'anchor' match to end of string ie there must be no chars after 'mp3' or 'rm'. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrequick.html and http://perldoc.perl.org/perlretut.html Cheers Chris	[reply]
