Re: selcting a specific file

My experience is that all the -X file operators work on Windows and FreeBSD. You could try

@files = grep { -s and -f} @files;
[download]

I would make sure that it's actually a file; directories on *ix-ish systems have non-zero size. It would probably also make sense to check to see if you have the required permissions for copying the file into another location, e.g. on *ix, you need write access in the target directory.

Copying files can be done with File::Copy or system,

...kudos to blazar for his observation about _ and the -X operators.

Any Northeastern US area jobs? I'm currently unemployed.

`@files = grep { -s and -f} @files;` [download] I personally believe that this is fine, but to avoid a double stat one would better `@files = grep { -s and -f _} @files;` [download] Of course it would be nice to also have chained -X's, and IIRC 5.10 has them.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
