Hi Monks,
I have a directory called archive under that directory i have some files


I need to read each file from the archive directory and need to perform some unix commands on those files


some of the unix commands which i need to perform on files are as follows

wc, tail, gunzip and unzip on files



Directory:archive

files:

orig_file_Jun13.dat.gz

Check_Jun13.dat

Check1_Jun13.dat

sub zPrivateSub
{
my $dir = $OUTPUT_DIR;
my $pattern = 'Jun';
opendir( DIR, $dir );
my @files = grep( /$pattern/, readdir(DIR) );
closedir(DIR);
foreach my $file (@files) {
if ($file=~ m/orig/) {
print "$file\n";
my $lcmd = system("wc -l Check_Jun13.dat Check1_Jun13.dat");
my $lcmd = system("gunzip -c orig_file_Jun13.dat.gz|tail -1");
