Don't forget that each module has documentation that can be accessed via 'perldoc Module::Name'
So try 'perldoc File::Find' (without the quotes) at the command-prompt. Hint: Check the section called "The Wanted Function". For the file size, you will probably use the stat function. One way to do this is to use an array slice like so: my $dirsize = (stat $_)[7]; Hint: File::Find sets $_ to the current filename. Do a 'perldoc -f stat' to see what the other elements are that might be useful. 7 is the file size in bytes. Remember that the "Wanted" function (BadNames in your case) will execute for each file. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 21, 2005 1:38 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: File Finding Hello I got the file command to work but it is not as complete as I would have hoped for. I was hoping to get the file size and directory of the file so I could put them into arrays. Is there a way I can do it with the find command?
