Renaming files on the server
Hello all, My friend (who doesn't English too well yet) has been emailing me asking about a guestbook he made. It sounds like he wants to archive his message files with a certain format and back them up automatically everyday. Here's his last email to me: i want to store all those message everyday from that dat file to another file. or simply rename the dat file to a html or shtml file with current date everyday. so that i can make archives or history of messages. but i want to save all these messages with current date everyday automatically. please tell me coding of renaming a dat file into a different file formate(i.e. html/shtml)in perl. i want the file to be saved as this following format [mess(currentdate).html] . and i don't know the coding of that. So it sounds like he wants to take a .txt file or something and rename it to mess(date).html everyday automatically by using Perl. What's the easiest way of doing this? Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
