Hi,
I have a little advice to beg for :)
I'm reading a file, putting in certain lines,
actually, the lines are paths to files on our network.
I am going to put them into an array, and then run
file::find to double check, and put in a new array
the the paths in the array actually match their actual
location. After that I want to put in the paths from
the new array into back into the file so the file
always has it's paths to other files updated and
over-written. How can I use an array with file::find?
I was thinking something along the lines of:
# @oldarray = pathnames from the file.
# @newarray = the updated pathnames from file::find
sub findfile {
$count=$count+1;
if ($_ eq $oldarray[$count])
{
$newarray[$count] = file::find::name;
}
}
find \&findfile, "..";
after that, I was thinking of of opening the file
again, and searching/replacing the matched lines with
newarray lines:
eg. open(MYFILE, $match) || die "Can't open file: $!";
while (defined($a=<MYFILE>))
{
$count=$count+1;
if ($a =~ /$oldarray[$count]/){
$a = s/$oldarray[$count]/$newarray[$count]
}
}
i have a little c++ experience and am not sure whether
@newarray[$count] is appropriate. no doubt this is
fraught with problems, but I need to use
search/replacement within the context of arrays...any
help would be appreciated..
thanx a million
Ben
