Re^2: Most effective bash to perl for directory listing

Wow that is awesome...Sorry.. I removed a lot of stuff from the scripts to make it simpler for the post, in mine it uses the current directory. Is there a way to get glob to output just the directory names but not their entire paths (without just regexing it)---> This is the current output of what you posted

../results//jobs
../results//logs
../results//step0_tophat
../results//step1_2cuffcompare
../results//step1_cufflinks
../results//step2_cuffmerge
../results//step3_cuffdiff
../results//step4_createTranscriptome
../results//step6_bowtie_pe
../results//step7_bowtie_se
../results//step8_bowtie_hg19
../results//step9_tophat_unmapped_hg19

This is what I was looking for, if it is possible:

jobs
logs
step0_tophat
step1_2cuffcompare
step1_cufflinks
step2_cuffmerge
step3_cuffdiff
step4_createTranscriptome
step6_bowtie_pe
step7_bowtie_se
step8_bowtie_hg19
step9_tophat_unmapped_hg19
[download]

Thanks so much for your time!

On a side note, I really want to learn more shorthand tricks like this, but they are really hard to find without asking a direct question... are you aware of any resources that instruct specifically on useful shorthand alternatives .. for example the difference between my script and your response.

Is there a way to get glob to output just the directory names but not their entire paths (without just regexing it) No. But regexing it isn't hard: `perl -E"say for map{ s[$ARGV[0]/][]; $_} glob qq[$ARGV[0]/]"` [download] are you aware of any resources that instruct specifically on useful shorthand alternatives* Erm. There was a thread a few years called something like Cheap idioms that had some. Typing "idioms" into the search box top left brings up some similar threads.

Is there a way to get glob to output just the directory names but not their entire paths? Yes. glob returns pathnames matching the pattern you give it. So if you give it `../results/`, it'll return the filenames in that directory in that format beginning with `../results/`, just like the shell command `find` will do. So if you don't want the rest of the path, chdir into the directory first and then use glob just on the filenames: `chdir $ARGV[0] or die $!; print "$_\n" for glob '';` [download] Aaron B.
