Re: How to extract the filenames in an array

If you want to find all the filename of a particular directory, you can use 'opendir' and 'readdir' function. For eg.

opendir(DIR, "/tmp") || die "can't opendir $!";
while (my $file = readdir(DIR)) {
  next unless (-f "/tmp/$file");
  print $file."\n";
}
closedir DIR;

If you want check a particular file name, you can use the '-e' option. For eg.

my $fname = "/tmp/test.txt"; 
print $fname if(-e $fname);

The `-e` function checks for existence of a given path (among other functions which check for other things, of course).	[reply] [d/l]
