Renaming files
Posted by kitwalker2886 (kitwalker2886), 30 May 2007
i took your advice and did the modification and writing in a new file and then renamed it to the original filename..i first named the new files as mod_$filename. Then globbed the directory for a list of all mod_* files..
@rename_list=<mod_*>;
Then i did a loop to rename all mod_filename as filename.
foreach(@rename_list)
{
$filename=substr($_,index($_,'mod_')+4);
rename($_,$filename);
}
but something weird happens.. all the files get renamed except for the last file on the rename list.
i thought maybe som prob with the file and so i deleted that particular file from the directory. But still the last of the remaining files doesn't get renamed.
Any idea why this is so...?

I can't see anything odd from a quick look through that. Have you printed out the @rename list completely so see if the problem is in the globbing or in the loop? That's the next thing I would do.This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
