Hello all, Here is my environment: solaris 2.6 perl 5.6.1
Here are descriptions of the files I am working with: 1) a meta-data text file 2) a creation.pl file 3) a CVS repository The meta-data file contains information about multiple CVS repository files. There are hundreds of rows with six columns each in the meta-data file. Each file in the repository basically has it's own row of information. The rows columns are as follows: Column 1 = file name Column 2 = file type Column 3 = file location Column 4 = file owner Column 5 = file permissions Column 6 = currently unused optional column These columns are seperated by a single tab. Example row: foo.html html /one/two/three/four haxor 0755 I want to execute the creation.pl file to read the meta-data file and create a "sandbox" from the meta-data information. I need help with the following tasks: 1) How do I process each column of every row? How do I grab one row, split it up at every tab, and copy the correct file into it's correct directory with its correct permissions? 2) How do I create variables for each piece of the split row? Like how do I create a variable for the directory path column and then go and create that directory path from that variable if it doesn't already exist? 3)How do I grab the files out of CVS and write them to a temp directory? 4)How do I do all of this in a loop for every row of the meta-data file? I am very appreciative for your help! Thank You!! -garrett _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
