Hi Mark,
Yes, I defined them outside of the while loop but it should not be a
problem because I assigned them after changing directory.
Here some debugging prints:
I have for example 3 directories: a, b, c. Each one has .vsn file:
a.vsn, b.vsn, c.vsn,
on first iteration
cwd = /home/vladimir/scripts/test/a
$vsn = a.vsn woks ok
on second iteration
cwd = /home/vladimir/scripts/test/b
$vsn = uninitialized not working
on second iteration
cwd = /home/vladimir/scripts/test/c
$vsn = c.ver works ok
If I'll define them inside while loop, it wont work either.

I tried a couple of things and I don't believe that glob is working as you
would expect it to work. If you do not want the vsn or ver, then I would do
a simple regex like ( $file =~ /.+\.(ver|vsn)/ ) If the file name portion
needs to be ralted the directory you are working out, then it becomes a
little harder, but I use glob very infrequently and when I have I have only
used the <glob> against a directory that I want to work specific files
otherwise a regex doing what I need to check is the way.
Wags ;)

Subject: problem with assigning a value
Hi,
Hello
I have a problem with assigning value to string. I'll be really
grateful if someone will help me.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Cwd;
use Term::ANSIColor qw(:constants);
$Term::ANSIColor::AUTORESET = 1;
####code fragment####
foreach (@dirs){
chdir $_;
my $curdir = cwd();
my $vsn = glob ("*.vsn");
my $ver = glob ("*.ver");
print BLUE "\n[$_]\n";
opendir(DIR, "$curdir") or die RED "Unable to open $curdir: $!";
while (defined (my $file = readdir DIR)) {
next if -d "$curdir/$file" or $file eq "zone.cfg" or $file eq
$vsn or $file eq $ver;
#compressing
system($program, $ARGV[0], $ARGV[1], $file) if $ARGV[0] eq "-c";
#decompressing system($program, $ARGV[0], $file) if $ARGV[0] eq
"-d"; }
closedir(DIR);
chdir $cwd;
}
The problem is that on each even iteration of loop, strings my
$vsn and $ver cannot be initialized.
That is because you have already defined these variables outside of
your loop. you can simpley say $vsn = "Fooooo" in your loop. By the
way my $vsn = glob ("*.vsn"); may not due what you expact of it.
HTH,
mark G.
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir
