Hi All Please tell me how to proceeed. I have been successfull with writing the script for going through the directory and executing a command.
But I have tried in vain to modify this code to be able to recursively run the command through the whole sub-directories, whichever is there. The following is the code I have started. Is this the right approach are is there any simpler way of browsing through the directories. #TEMPLATE TO BROWSE THROUGH A DIRECTORY STRUCTURE $rootdir="C:/Temp/Test/"; chdir($rootdir); #We are in /1/@ opendir(DIR1,$rootdir); @dirfirstlevel=readdir(DIR1); shift(@dirfirstlevel); shift(@dirfirstlevel); foreach $directory (@dirfirstlevel) { if(-d $directory) { `copy $directory $directory.bak`; print "$directory\n"; } } This code however assumes that the directory tree is fixed. How do I do this when I do not know the depth of the directory C:/Temp/Test I would like to copy all the subdirectories under C:/Temp/Test to .bak TIA and Regards Jay Jayashankar N S Team Ulysses Transco ODC Wipro Technologies, # 72, Tower 6, First Floor, Keonics Electronic City, Hosur Road, Bangalore-561229, India.
