Re^2: File::Find help

Hi, Thank you for the reply. My dilemma is that the file (-f) could be way under multiple subdirectories. How can I effectively capture those so I can pass that to a variable to later do the unlink?

Whenever you find a directory, remember it to be deleted afterwards? `my @to_be_deleted; File::Find( ..., sub { if( -d $File::Find::name ) { print "'$File::Find::name' should be deleted later\n"; # push @to_be_deleted, $File::Find::name; }; }; rmdir @to_be_deleted; # boom` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Why not read the documentation, make an attempt yourself, and report back with your efforts and how it didn't work? How do I post a question effectively?	[reply]
