Home: Need a Custom or Prewritten Perl Program?: I need a program that...: Finding a File inside a Directory

cbwery2 Deleted Sep 13, 2000, 1:52 PM Post #1 of 2 (1701 views) Finding a File inside a Directory Can't Post I need to check if a file exist inside a directory. For example I want to check if the file video.mpg does exist in /usr/src/images Someone gave me an idea of put all the files in an array and then search inside the array.
