Hi all, I have a bit of a problem with this script. It seems to be working happily, searching through all subfolders for a file ending .9. But when it prints to the output file, it appends all the other subfolders containing .9 contents to the file. So naturally the file is huge? Any suggestions?

 find (\&process, $folder);

sub process
{
         if ($_ =~ /\.9$/) {

   print "\nProcessing the fort.9 files, from taylor type to z values\
+n";
         open (FILE, '<', $_) or
         die "Cannot open file: $!";

$/= "# input for";

while (<FILE>) {

#do something

push(@outLines, $_ );
        }
        close FILE;

        open ( OUTFILE, ">adjusted.learn" ) or
        die "Cannot open file: $!";

        print ( OUTFILE @outLines );
        close ( OUTFILE );


}

}
exit;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

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).
