I have a code which displays the list of files avaialble in a particular folder.
Example:-
I have 123,123_SIM,456_SIM,678_SIM,890 files in the following folder.
C:\perl_practice\Folder
Code:- -
use Data::Dumper;
-
#use strict;
-
#use warnings;
-
use File::Find;
-
use File::Stat;
-
use Time::Local;
-
-
my $test_data1='C:\perl_practice\Folder';
-
-
my @cbr;
-
-
@cbr = $test_data1;
-
-
foreach $cbr (@cbr) {
-
opendir(DIR,$cbr);
-
@files = readdir(DIR);
-
closedir(DIR);
-
foreach $file (sort @files) {
-
print("$file \n");
-
}
-
}
-
When I execute this program.All the files available in the C:\perl_practice\Folder are diplayed. -
plat_USb
-
ICON_SIM
-
MYCO_SIM
-
SAME_SIM
-
TIME_cable
-
GURU_JA
-
JVA_TEX
-
But I want display only those files which contain SIM word in the file name.
like -
ICON_SIM
-
MYCO_SIM
-
SAME_SIM
-
Waiting for ur valuable response

Hi Sada,
First off, never comment out "use strict;". It's during development that you need it most, so do yourself a favor and always leave it in.
Cleaning up your code a little bit. -
use strict;
-
-
my $test_data1='C:/perl_practice/Folder';
-
-
my @cbr = $test_data1;
-
-
foreach my $cbr (@cbr) {
-
opendir(DIR, $cbr) or die "Can't open $some_dir: $!";
-
my @files = readdir(DIR);
-
closedir(DIR);
-
-
foreach my $file (sort @files) {
-
print "$file \n" if $file =~ /SIM$/;
-
}
-
}

Another plausible idiom: -
use strict;
-
-
my $pattern = "SIM";
-
my $test_data1='C:/perl_practice/Folder';
-
-
my @cbr = $test_data1;
-
-
foreach my $cbr (@cbr) {
-
opendir (DIR, $cbr) or die "Could not open $cbr for read: $! \n";
-
@files = grep /$pattern/, readdir(DIR);
-
closedir (DIR);
-
-
foreach my $file (sort @files) {
-
print "$file \n";
-
}
-
}
-
The potential advantage of using grep to limit the array of files is that @files now contains only the files you are interested in and you don't have to limit them again. Whether this is an actual advantage depends on what you want to do.
As usual, there's more than one way to do it. :)
HTH,
Paul

OBTW, you (sada) initially said:
I have a code which displays the list of files avaialble in a particular folder.
But the code you gave looks like it is intended to search through a larger number of folders and you just gave one of them. Now this is plausible in a demo, but just in case you actually meant "a particular folder" rather than "a number of folders" you could simplify your code considerably by eliminating @cbr, the array of folders. If you are just simplifying and meant a bunch of folders, then never mind.
Best Regards,
Paul
in the spirit of TIMTOWTDI
use strict;
my $pattern = "SIM";
my $test_data1='C:/perl_practice/Folder/';
print "$_\n" for sort <$test_data1*$pattern>;

Oh, yeah! Nice one, Kevin!
For Sada: to understand Kevin's version, read about the "Filename Globbing Operator" (pp. 83-85 in the Camel Book 3rd edition).
<runs off to think about the whys and wherefores of readdir vs. filename globbing>
