Hello Clarkson,
Thanks for everything you explained.
The 'System Volume Information' is a restricted system folder (only SYSTEM
can access) in NTFS.
For a moment I was in trouble in how to handle the @file resulted from the
File::Find.
Itīs a basic problem that I need to understand how to access array and hash.
I must improve my skill toward this subject.
The final porpose isnīt important by now, only learning a litle more Perl:
I tried this and worked fine:
for (my $i=0; $i<=$#files; $i++){
print "\n", $files[$i][0], ' => ', $files[$i][1];
}
How to sort the @file by filename (first column of array)?
How can take every occurrency of array with foreach(@files) or while(@files)
like in loop above?
Thanks again,
Josimar
