Hello all,
I do have script that open files with filename matching this pattern: *Dec2003*.txt and processes them. Unfortunatelly, some of the files belongs to different month, (January) even though their name says *Dec2003*.txt. So for example this file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 642 Dec 29 23:00 TA29Dec2003-0.zip.LOG.summary.txt
should be processed as December 2003, however, this file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 628 Jan 1 01:14 TA31Dec2003-1.zip.LOG.summary.txt
should be processed as January 2004!
Here is the script: 
#!usr/bin/perl -w 

use strict;
use Fcntl qw[:flock];

my $impressions = 0;
my$iofile = '/other/scripts/daniel/input/c07_impressions_io.info';

open (IO, $iofile) || die("Could not open file 1!");

while (<IO> ) {
      chop;
      (my$FH, my$output, my$file2check) = split (/\s+/, $_); 

open OUT, ">> $output";

chdir $FH or die "$!";

while (glob $file2check) {
    open FH, $_ or die $!;
    flock FH, LOCK_SH or die $!;
    while (<FH> ) {
        chomp;
    if ( /Impressions:/ ) {
        my($text, $value) = split(/:/, $_);
        $impressions += $value if ($value =~ /\d+/);
           }
         }
    close FH or die $!;
      }
    }
print OUT 'Total impressions: ', $impressions or die $!;

the my$iofile contains: 1. where the files I am interested are, 2. where to write the total, 3. and then the pattern (*Dec2003*.txt)
Please advice.
Thank you for your time.
