Yes, thanks a lot, I know I can use the find.pm package. But, I wantted to learn what did I do wrong about my code.
I'd be mostly thankful for you inputs, Eli. == Start of code #!/usr/bin/perl my (@dirs,$d,$depth) ; $depth = 2 ; @dirs = &find_dirs ($ARGV[0],$depth) ; print "\n\nOutput is ...\n" ; foreach $d (@dirs) { print ".... $d\n" ; } 1 ; sub find_dirs { my ($dir,$depth) = @_ ; my (@dirs,$d,$exit_status) ; my ($dir_ls) = "dir /AD" ; if ($depth > 0) { $depth-- ; chdir ($dir) ; $exit_status = `dir` ; print "\nCurrently in ----- >\n$exit_status\n==================================\nDepth ($depth)\n" ; open (DIR_LS,"$dir_ls |") ; while (<DIR_LS>) { next if /^\s+/ ; chmop; $d = $_ ; $d =~ s/.*<DIR>\s+// ; $d =~ s/\s//g ; next if ($d =~ /\.\.?/) ; next if ($d =~ /^Export/) ; print "Collecting .... $d\n" ; push (@dirs,$d) ; &find_dirs ($d,$depth) ; } close DIR_LS ; } return @dirs ; } === End of code -----Original Message----- From: Dave Gray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 2004 7:39 PM To: Eaton Elyahu Doron Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Recursive function > The purpose is simple, search directory inside $depth levels for > directories.
