Howdy:
I'm having problems trying to parse out part
of a directory into variables.
I start with this:
[snip script]
/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use diagnostics;
my $dest="/i/'Depression Management'/Mailing/dec2002_iso_images";
# Where is data coming from?
my $source="/i/'Depression Management'/Mailing/Dec2002";
foreach $group ( split(/\n/,`ls -d1 $source/06/*`) ) {
print $group, "\n";
}
[/snip script]
And this is the results:
[snip results]
/i/Local Test Dir/Mail/December2002/06/first workgroup (emi).pdf
/i/Local Test Dir/Mail/December2002/06/prof arrange (test).pdf
. . .
. . .
[/snip results]
What I want is to parse out the path into 3 variables:
[broken logic]
foreach my $group ( split(/\n/,`ls -d1 $source/0*/*`) ) {
($bu, $pcgname)=($group =~ m/$source\/(0\d)\/(.*)/i);
[/broken logic]
How can I split $group in to $source, any number (06 in this example)
and any file name listed after that (which will most likely include
white spaces in the names)? In the above, I thought I was only
getting the digit and everything else into the TWO variables (but
I guess not) ...
Thanks for any suggestions!
