In a program such as the following....
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
# always always always use strict and warnings!!!
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Spec;
$windir = "/home/users/tony";
my $windir = '/home/users/tony';
opendir(NT, $windir) || die "no $windir?: $!";
"or die" not "|| die"
while ($name = readdir(NT)) { # scalar context, one per loop
while(my $name...
or better yet:
while(readir NT) {
my $abs = File::Spec->rel2abs($_);
print "$abs\n";
}
print "$name\n"; # prints ., .., system.ini, and so on
}
closedir(NT);
exit;
exit not needed
-------------------------------------------------------------------
$name returns each of the files in the given directory. To form the
absolute path of the files given by $name, you would simply combine the
$windir and the $name variables like so: "$windir/$name". For example
"/home/users/tony/x.txt".
My question relates to the two files '.' and '..'. Is there any function
that will give the absolute path of these directories when fed $name
values of '.' and '..' ? Without having to chdir to these directories,
that is.
perldoc -f File::Spec
HTH :)
