I have this function:
sub getDIRcontents { my $dir = shift; my $dh = DirHandle->new($dir); return sort grep { XXXXXXXX } map { "$dir/$_" } grep { !/^\./ } $dh->read(); } Where you see the XXXXXXX's in the line containig grep, I need a check for this: If the file starts with REL or WinCIS. I tried egrep { "^WiNCIS|^REL" } but it did not work. Any ideas. -Chuck -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
