Hi Anon
Here's another approach
#!perl -sl
use strict;
use warnings FATAL => 'all';
my $PATH = "c:/code/test";
my $processed_hash_ref;
chdir $PATH; # filetests using relative path
opendir DH, "." or die "Couldn't open directory $PATH: $!";
while ($_ = readdir (DH)) {
next unless -f $_
&& m/^\d_\d{4}_\d\d?_\d\d?_\d\d?_\d\d?_\d\d?_table/i;
my $fname = join ('_', (split /_/)[ 7..11 ]);
# already seen a more recent file with the name we're
# planning to use? skip current file
next if defined $processed_hash_ref->{$fname} &&
$processed_hash_ref->{$fname}->{AGE} < -M _;
# file safe to be renamed... for now
$processed_hash_ref->{$fname}->{OLDNAME} = $_;
$processed_hash_ref->{$fname}->{AGE} = -M _;
}
closedir DH;
# now proceed to rename items
map {
print "[!] rename $processed_hash_ref->{$_}->{OLDNAME} to $_";
rename $processed_hash_ref->{$_}->{OLDNAME}, $_;
} keys %$processed_hash_ref;
Cheers Shadow

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
