Re: Writing Dir Names into a File

Hello again,

So I have modified my script a bit and it works. However, now I want to not 
read in the "." and ".." directories. How can I do this?? I am having 
problems with this part.

I think my "while ( my $file = (!/^\.\.?$/,readdir( DIR )) )" part is wrong. 
Any suggestions??

Below is my new script:


#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $dir = '/directory_name';
  opendir( DIR, $dir )
     or die "Failed to open directory '/images': Error='$!'";
while ( my $file = (!/^\.\.?$/,readdir( DIR )) ) {
   open(OUT, ">>dir.txt") || die "Inside Func - Cant open dir.txt: $!\n";
   print OUT "$file \n";
   close(OUT);
#   print "$file \n" if -d "$dir/$file";
}

Thanks!!!
