hi, why cant i check the age of a file when the path contains a point? --- use File::Basename; #$path="/home/raid/golchert/.cxoffice/dotwine/filelist.dat"; $path="/tmp/someFile"; print "\n alter von $path = ".(-M $path). "\n" if (-M $path <=4 && !(dirname($path)=~/\./) && !(-d $path));
--- maybe you have to change the path so its a file on your system. is there a workaround for that? the line that is commented out does not work.... THANKS:-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
