Hello everyone,
Just joined this list and I have a doozie I've been working on for a
bit here to no avail. The entire problem is this; I have a list of
files, say that they are named "flynn.foo, flynn_something.foo,
flaherty.foo flaherty_something.foo" and so forth. Each of these
files must live(be moved to) an individual directory named for the
author(flynn, flaherty, etc) and then be symlinked to an entirely
different directory in another part of the filesystem identical to
the first one(flynn, flaherty...) If I was doing this on the command
line I'd do
cp /usr/blah/flaherty.foo /usr/blah/blahagain/flaherty/ &&
ln -s /usr/blah/blahagain/flaherty/flaherty.foo /usr/blah/
blahoncemore/flaherty.foo
So far I've gotten to the point where I can strip out the names
from the files and create the two sets of directories, but I'm
stumped on how to them copy each of these files into the correct
directory and then symlink from the storage directory to the other
name directory. Now I know how to copy files and symlink files with
perl, but the logic involved in doing this to 30 files is beyond me
at the moment. Anyone have a clue?
Thanks,
Tom
