( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Dear Monks, I have a routine to recursively search for files in a directory & move the file to another folder if it satisfies a condition. Since I need to do recursive search, I thought of using File::Find::name. It works in getting all the list of files & in moving the files to the other folder. However, my problem now is that the subfolders from the source directory stays (& empty) & are not getting deleted. Is there a way to auto-delete those using the same module? If not, any suggestion how to do it in a "nice way"?

sub Get_Allist{ @files=(); my $inputdir = $InP; find(sub {push @files,$File::Find::name if (-f $File::Find::name a +nd /\.*$/); }, $inputdir); } sub Move_Files{ foreach $srcfile (@files){ #Process each file in input folder move("$srcfile", "$OutP\\."); } }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
