Home: Perl Programming Help: Beginner: archive directory with selected files

AlexPerl Novice Apr 14, 2014, 10:58 AM Post #1 of 4 (3558 views) archive directory with selected files Can't Post How do I archive a directory in Perl, but select only the files to be archived? This is the directory structure that I start with (directories and files): /tmp/wip0 ---dir1 ------txt1a ------txt1b ------junk1a ---dir2 ------txt2a ------txt2b ------junk2a ---dir3 ------txt3a ------txt3b ------chref.log I am hoping to get an archive wip0.tgz with this contents: /wip0 ---dir1 ------txt1a ------txt1b ---dir2 ------txt2a ------txt2b ---dir3 ------txt3a ------txt3b

AlexPerl Novice Apr 14, 2014, 4:27 PM Post #3 of 4 (3549 views) Re: [Laurent_R] archive directory with selected files [In reply to] Can't Post can we do a tar -selectfilenames *txt > wip0.tgz? or, select from the list: list = "./dir*/txt*"; print "copy these files only $list"; tar -cf $list > wip0.tgz; I'm doing this at work. And we normally archive only needed documents in a directory. The rest of the files are junks and we do not want to archive them. I'm writing Perl just for my own usage and our Linux support is limited.
