Re^2: date sorted files into an array

Great!! but that will limit the search to the past few days. It will not fetch the newest files outside the date range. It would be appropriate to get the latest available files irrespective of the current date or a specified date

What the previous post mentions will get all the files, if you dont do the grep command. (the last command, separated from the others). You should probably do some reading. For this one, read about opendir(). There is plenty of great documentation about built-in commands at perlmonks, but you should also get some books. I'd start with Programming Perl, published by O'Reilly & Assoc, if you have reasonable programming experience in other languages. - Its a great reference, particularly Chapter 29: Perl Funcitons in Alphabetical Order If you're new to programming in general, you may want to get O'reillys Learning Perl	[reply]
