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

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.
