Looping over a directory, and using Write Filehandle
|
Can't Post
|
|
I have trouble writing over to a single Filehandle, based on many different files that I am reading in one directory....and Here is what I am doing:
1) Using "foreach", & "readdir" , I am picking up each
file in a dir.
(total of 12 files), and placing them into $var.
2) Next I read the content of a totally separate file
, using
open(INPUT, "one_single_input_file")
3) Then I get ready to place the result of the
comparison between
content of the INPUT file (step 2), and each
individual file in step 1 , using
Open (OUTPUT, ">${var}_OUT).
PROBLEM:
At step 3 above only the 1st file (out of the 12)
is picked up, and
I get an output file with the proper content. However,
all other output
files will end up having "0" contents, knowing that
the file comparison is
happening (based on the processes that are going on).
I also used "seek()" function to position the file
pointer with all
possible options, and none made a difference.
What am I not doing? It seems to me, one Write
Filehandle could not be
used for many different filenames (even though, it is
placed inside a
foreach loop). If that is the case, what are my
alternatives?
Thanks,
Take a look at the attachement for the actual code.
I hope this will furtherclarify my problem
Attachment is now included!!
