-f command problem

gautamparimoo has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am using -f to scan a windows drive to get the count of file scanned through the following code

$current = $File::Find::name;
if(-f $current )      
{
filesScanned++;      
}

the counter in above code filesScanned does not increment for a few files. Can anyone tell me y?

How do the files that don't increment the counter differ from those that do? Also please post enough code that we can actually run it and reproduce your problem, as is it's just guessing in the dark. Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply]

Well, that code does nothing, it doesn't even compile Show your real code Read this if you want to cut your development time in half! How do I post a question effectively?, Short, Self Contained, Correct (Compilable), Example	[reply]

What kind of files are those few? Try to print the filenames and the counter as well. I'm too lazy to be proud of being impatient.	[reply] [d/l]
