Re^4: file search

Can we use computers?

Recursion is ~~the only~~...

One way might be push all the dirs onto a @stack as you find them and shift them off one at a time to process them. Then you can convince yourself you're not using recursion which I find easy to do. :-)

thanks for the reply john. I know, it is quite easy to do with recursion and File:FInd, but as i said, it was an assignment might be they are checking my capability. what do yo say, if we do a grep in the directory and stack the list and then taking the directory and processing the file.	[reply]

If "they" are checking your capability, why are you trying to be dishonest about it by asking others to do your work for you?	[reply]

I am learning from your experience, I am not asking the people to do my work. Just asking reference, not asking to write the whole program for me. I believe learning is not through reading and trying, that is through sharing experience from people. Asking questions and getting answers. I am learner of Perl, just a beginner. SO I was just asking these kind of questions to understand more.	[reply]
