Hi, I have a script that runs and zips a file, then copies it to another directory on another system. It also goes through and renames each file so that it keeps 14 files. The script I am using is just using system renames and I would like to truly do this in Perl.
So I have started new. Heres what I have so far..... Snip Use File::Copy; Foreach $dfile (glob("c:/ned/ned/*back.zip")) { $numcount=substr($dfile,-11,3); ++$numcount; $ddfile = $numcount . substr($dfile,-8); copy("$dfile", "$ddfile") or warn; } I would like to increment each file as it gets a day older, then tuning the oldest file into a weekly file, the above does not work. Any ideas to get me on a BETTER path.
