Re^3: Splitting file path by Argel (Prior) on Feb 10, 2010 at 23:49 UTC
You're still not being very clear -- do you want just the directories one level below $hardPath or all directories below $hardPath? Do you want $hardPath included for each entry in the array or do you just want the part of the path that is below $hardPath? For example, given "$hardPath/foo/bar" do you want "$hardPath/foo" or "$hardPath/foo" and "$hardPath/foo/bar"? And do you want "$hardPath/foo" or just "foo"? That ambiguity is why you have been getting downvotes on your question. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]

Using "splitting subdirectories" to explain "splitting subdirectories" is not very useful. Let's try something different. Give an example directory tree and show us what you want in the array. `dir1\file1 dir2\file2 dir2\file3 dir2\dir3\file4` [download] should give `@array = ( ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, ???, );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
Re^4: Splitting file path by Karger78 (Beadle) on Feb 11, 2010 at 16:12 UTC
ok. Perhaps it was a poor job explaining on my part. so we have a var called $hardPath. E.g \\test So what I would like to do is build an array of any sub directories within $hardPath. E.g $hardPath\foo\bar So then the array would contain foo, and bar. Does that make sense?	[reply]

Doesn't the code in Re: Splitting file path do that? Well, it sounds like you want just the file name of of the directories, not the whole path. I don't see how this could be useful, but if that's what you want, use File::Basename's `basename`: `use File::Find::Rule qw( ); use File::Basename qw( basename ); my @subdirs = map basename($_), File::Find::Rule->directory->in($hardPath);` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
