I'm trying to get all files of a directory whose name does not end with a particular string.
I'm tried using: @files = readdir DIR; @otherfiles = grep /(?!java)/, @files; but files with java in them are returned along with the other files. I'd like to know, in general, how to get everything that doesn't match a given pattern. thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
