Hi all, new problem encountered - I am trying to write a short script that will search a pattern in file names that are either within a directory or inside a zip archive in some directory. I managed to get the results I needed while the files were within zip archives (or unarchived) however now I see some of the archives are tar.gz and the code doing the trick with the zip archives obviously are not working when applied to a tar.gz file.
so the code below i swhat I use for zip archives: use Archive::Zip; use Archive::Extract; use File::Find; #start searching &File::Find::find(sub{ if($_ =~/\.zip/) {#if you find a zip file - open and read my $zip = Archive::Zip->new(); $zip->read($_) == 0 or die "Can't read ZIP file"; foreach my $member ($zip->members) { my $zip_member = $member->fileName; if($zip_member =~/$search_pattern/) { print "\nI FOUND 1 file!\n"; #must extract this file from the archive $zip->extractMember($member, "C:/somepath"); } } } elsif($_ =~/\.tar\.gz/) {#if you find a tar.gz file - open and read ??? #build an Archive::Extract object my $ae = Archive::Extract->new(archive => $_); my @files = $ae->files; ????? i don't know if I can go on here ... else { if($_ =~m/$search_pattern/) { print "\nI FOUND 1 file!\n"; #move this file to some directory } } }, $search_directory); So, I guess I don't know what is the equivalent module for tar.gz that would do the same thing as Archive::Zip for zip ... (I tried Archive::Extract but I got nowhere). Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Dan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
