Hello List,
I am working on my first "real" Perl program. I am using Active Perl 5.6 on
Windows NT/2000. So far, I am just trying to read a directory of files into
an array, but only those files that are named with 5 or 6 numbers and no
extension, like 12345 or 654321. I've got that part down except that I
don't know how to keep another directory out of that array.
###### start code ########
use warnings;
use strict;
opendir (DIR, "c:\\prod\\rej") || die "can't open c:\\prod\\rej: $!";
my @filelist = grep m/^\d\d\d(\d|\d\d)\d$/, readdir DIR;
print ("@filelist");
closedir DIR;
###### end code ########
This works great except it also includes a directory named 11113 that I
created under c:\prod\rej for testing purposes. I was trying something like
this (don't laugh _too_ hard):
my @filelist = grep { $_ ne -d && m/^\d\d\d(\d|\d\d)\d$/ }, readdir DIR;
but then I would get this error:
syntax error at C:\perl\practice\test.pl line 5, near "},"
Execution of C:\perl\practice\test.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
How do I get that directory out of my array? I would welcome any
suggestions/critique.
Thank you,
Rebecca
