Globbing Posted by kitwalker2886 (kitwalker2886), 9 May 2007 if i want to make a list of all the files in a particular directory..@filelist=<*>; gave me a list of all the files the current directory.. but a code lik @filelist=<d:\avinash\*>; gave errors.. i m using perl in a windows environment. i guess i m makin a mistake in the way i m givin the path. can anyone tell me wat?? Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 9 May 2007 In Perl, the file extension operator <..> operator treats the string within if it contains a * or ? as a double quoted string for expansion into a series of symbol (file) names. And because it treats it as a double quoted string, you need to \ protect any \ characters - i.e. double them up. Try:@filelist=<d:\\avinash\\*>; (Note - without wild cards, the <...> operator means "read from" .... something totally different and does NOT apply in your example) Posted by kitwalker2886 (kitwalker2886), 9 May 2007 thanks a lot mate..This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
