RE: I don't want to recursively copy the same file in all sub-directories...

[Peter Loo]

Hi Todd,

Here is a sample list of files this a user would see on an HTML page with
check boxes.

1. checkbox FOLDER.GIF
2. checkbox HTMLFILE.GIF
3. checkbox download/install/FOLDER.GIF
4. checkbox download/install/HTMLFILE.GIF
5. checkbox download/install/index.html

If I choose number 1 and 2, I ONLY want to update 1 and 2, and not anything
else, but if I choose 1-4, rsync needs to update 1-4.  So, my point is,
rsync is getting created dynamically.  The way it is set up now, if I choose
FOLDER.GIF (1), both 1 and 3 get updated or if I choose (2), both 2 and 4
get updated.  That is not want I want.

Here is the whole sub-routine:

  my $switches = "-gHloprtv";
  my $in_excludeFiles = "";
  my $comment = "";
  my $delete = " --delete ";

  sub processCgiCall() {
    foreach $host (sort keys %destHost) {
      @keyArray = split(/,/,$arg{'CheckBoxNames'});
      $in_excludeFiles = " --include \"*\/\"  ";
      foreach ( 0..$#keyArray ) {
        my $file = "$keyArray[$_]";
        if ( $file =~ m/deleting/ ) {
          ($filler, $file) = split (/ /,$file);
          }
        $in_excludeFiles .= " --include \"$file\"  ";
        }
      $in_excludeFiles .= " --exclude \"*\"  ";
      setRsync();
      open(RSYNC, "$rsync |");
      while (<RSYNC>) {
        if ( $_ =~ m/.\/$/ || $_ =~ m/building file list/ || $_ =~ m/wrote
(\w)/ ||
             $_ =~ m/total size is/ || $_ =~ m/\/$/ ) {
          next;
          }
        if (m/deleting/) {
          print "<FONT COLOR=red>
                   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$_<BR>
                 </FONT>";
          }
        else {
          print "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$_<BR>";
          }
        }
      close(RSYNC);
      }
    } # <=== End of sub processCgiCall().

  sub setRsync() {
    $rsync = "/usr/bin/rsync $delete $switches $in_excludeFiles $srcDir
$destDir 2>&1";
    } # <=== End of sub setRsync.

I sure hope someone can help with this.

Thanks.

Peter

I may be missing something excruciatingly basic here, but why, if
you only want to sync specified, individual files, are you including
the -r flag for recursive do-everything?
