Re: Net::FTP and a DG Mainframe

It appears that you would have to use Net::FTP's quot() function to send your ls command and manually parse the results.

regarding multiline parsing, the /s regular expression operator might prove useful for matching expressions across newlines.

The problem with that is that ls doesn't provide sizes and file types etc. As for regex's, it is not really what I'm doing. I want to be able to say, more or less, if previous line is incomplete, add next line. I know I can do it using temp variable etc, but I was hoping for an easier way.
