Hello and thanks for volunteering your time!
I'm returning to PERL after about a year and am struggling to remaster
some syntax:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;
# Converts current directory to a list of links
my @dir;
my $name;
my $i = 0;
opendir DH, "." or die "\nCouldn't open current directory: $!\n";
while ($_ = readdir(DH)) {
next if $_ eq "." or $_ eq ".." or -d $_ or $_ eq "zlinks.pl" or $_ eq
"zout.txt";
$dir[$i++] = $_;
}
open FH, "> zout.txt" or die $!;
foreach $i (@dir) {
my @title = split /\./, $dir[$i];
$name = $title[0];
print FH "<P ALIGN=CENTER><A HREF=\"$dir[$i]\"
TARGET=\"_blank\">$name</A></P>\n";
}
I get an error for the line <<my @title = split /\./, $dir[$i];>>
Argument "filename.ext" isn't numeric in array element
Well, I wasn't expecting it to be, but apparently I implied it and can't
figure out how.
Interestingly, the program executes with the error but only considers
the first file it finds in the directory. If there are N files, it will
print N links, but all using the first file name.
HELP!
