I have a line that is reading files from and array and copying to a different directory. Is there a way to rename the file with regex at the same time?
No, you have to store the modified file name in a different variable.
I'm wanting to remove spaces only in the filenames with: s/\ //g My copy line reads: copy( "$dir/$file", "$newdir/$file" );
( my $new = $file ) =~ tr/ //d; # or =~ s/ //g if you prefer copy( "$dir/$file", "$newdir/$new" ); John -- Perl isn't a toolbox, but a small machine shop where you can special-order certain sorts of tools at low cost and in short order. -- Larry Wall -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
