RE: [Perl-unix-users] How to append specified files into a big file

[Nguyen, David M]

Title: Message

Thanks, Jay.  This makes sense but I need to write a script to prompt for user input, a start date and a begin date.  For example, if user input start date is “0710” and end date is “0716” then I want the program to append all the files between that date range.  Is there a way?   For example: $myperl.pl   Enter start date:  0710 Enter end date:   0716   Thanks again, David   -----Original Message----- From: Jason Vincent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 12:31 PM To: Nguyen, David M; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Perl-unix-users] How to append specified files into a big file       @files = ( 'Meas.atl00.1040.0710, 'Meas.atl00.1040.0711', 'Meas.atl00.1040.0712', 'Meas.atl00.1040.0713', 'Meas.atl00.1040.0714', 'Meas.atl00.1040.0715', 'Meas.atl00.1040.0716');   open (OUT, '>>bigfile.txt')||die $!;   foreach (@files){     open (IN, "$_")|| die $!;     while (<IN>){         print OUT $_;     }     close IN; } close OUT;     Regards,     Jay     -----Original Message----- From: Nguyen, David M [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Perl-unix-users] How to append specified files into a big file I have all the files below under /mydir directory, I want to append ONLY the files highlighted into a big file names “bigfile.txt”.  How do I accomplish this?   Meas.atl00.1040.0705 Meas.atl00.1040.0706 Meas.atl00.1040.0707 Meas.atl00.1040.0708 Meas.atl00.1040.0709 Meas.atl00.1040.0710 Meas.atl00.1040.0711 Meas.atl00.1040.0712 Meas.atl00.1040.0713 Meas.atl00.1040.0714 Meas.atl00.1040.0715 Meas.atl00.1040.0716 Meas.atl00.1040.0717 Meas.atl00.1040.0718 Meas.atl00.1040.0719 Meas.atl00.1040.0720   Thanks in advance, David
