Re^5: Using an hash ref to match files with directories

Thanks - that is a significantly improved S/N ratio.

First : Why are you doing this no-op ?

  my $seq = $seq; # capture the intials ($seq) from $targetfile

So it appears that you want to use the Initials-to-hash conversion in the sub "seq_customer_dirs".

Simply replace " if ($dir=~m%$seq%){" with

    if ($dir =~m|$sequser{$seq}| ){

first response: This captures the initials from the targetfile. Those initials are what I need to check for a match with the keys in in the hash. Once I find a match, then I can use the value to work on the correct dir. Second response: The idea behind the sub seq_customer_dirs is to find the customer/user dir. Example: When the program runs across a file with the initials "MJ", which is captured by $seq, it checks for eq with a hash $key. If there is eq, hash $key = "MJ", then the value is returned as the dir. In this case the $value is "Michael Jordan" and that would be returned to the main program as the directory to work on.
