Re^3: Help constructing proper regex to extract values from filenames and concurrently opening those same files to access records

Oh, sorry about that error. //= is only in Perl 5.10.0 and later, and I should have noted that. The statement is equivalent to $school = 'null' unless defined $school;

For the values inside the listed files, you could use a similar regex (or build it and the original from another which contains the common parts of both) inside that inner while loop, yes?

I wouldn't need another regex inside the while loop. At this point, the regex you helped me with list all the files I need to read in at the same time extracting those particular keys I wanted. Now, since I'm already in I wouldn't need another regex. I just need to open the filenames and get the values. I hope I am making sense. Would I do this within the while loop of the of the if (DEBUG) section? UPDATE: Nevermind. Thanks for your help! This does what I need it to do. I haven't really used DEBUG before. Once I changed it to 1 it does what I need to do. This is a cool script. I can always use that debug technique. Thanks for showing me the ways.	[reply]
