Re: [oldrob] modifying a program to open all files in a directory

Code

chomp(@buffer = <$fh>); #copy the entire line to @buffer

This doesn't copy line 3 to @buffer. It copies lines 3 to eof to the buffer.

Update: Ok, I guess thats what you want the program to do - sorry.

You can use the glob function to get files like below.

Code

my $dir = shift @ARGV; 
my @cvs_files = glob "$dir/*.csv";

You would just need to specify your directory on the command line immediately after the program, like perl my_program.pl dir_name
