Dear Monks, I wrote this program to find a file, copy it and rename it in the destination directory. It finds the file but doesn't copy or rename the file. There is no errors when I run the script. could you take a look at it and let me know what I'm doing wrong. I'll appreciate your feedback. Here is my code:
#! perl -w
use strict;
use File::Copy;
my $infile = 'c:/doclisth.chr';
open IN, "<$infile" or die "Couldn't open $infile, $!";
while (<IN>) {
chomp;
my @fields = split /,/;
my $mrn = $fields[0];
my $path_str = $fields[13];
do { warn "Empty field 13"; next } unless $path_str;
my @path = split /\\/, $path_str;
my $dir = join "\\", @path[ 0, 5, 6 ];
process_dir($dir,$mrn);
}
close IN;
sub process_dir {
my $dir = shift;
my $mrn = shift;
do { warn "$dir does not exist!\n"; return } unless -e $dir;
opendir DIR, $dir or do { warn "Could not open $dir $!\n" ; return
};
while ( my $file = readdir DIR ) {
next unless -f "$dir\\$file";
next unless $file =~ m/\.rtf$/;
my $newname = rename ($file, $mrn);
copy( "$dir\\$file", "C:\\testfiles\\$newname" )
or die "Failed to copy $file: $!\n";
}
}
