Re: Get file min and max size help!

Try adding parenthesis, as indicated by the error message. I've not tried it, but I'd suggest starting with:

   push @files , grep { -f  && (-s >= $min_size) && (-s <= $max_size) 
+}
                 map  { "$d/$_" } read_dir ($d);

Note: I've added the map bit, as it looks like that's what you were wanting.

Never mind ... apparently today I'm an idiot... Reading the documentation reveals that -s doesn't return a number. Instead, it indicates whether has nonzero size. If you need to know the file size, you'll have to use a suitable function to read the file size, and then compare it. ...roboticus When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Actually it does, at least according to perlfunc and to my experience: `-s File has nonzero size (returns size in bytes).`	[reply]
