how can i select each non empty files?? and transfer them out i follwed by !-z option but it doesnt work out

Your question is hard to follow but I'll try on it.

From guessing on your riddle, I'd think you should use the File:Copy module like here:

use strict; use warnings; use File::Copy; my @files = qw(Ardbeg.txt Bowmore.txt Bruichladdich.txt Bunnahabhain.t +xt Caol_Ila.txt Kilchoman.txt Lagavulin.txt Laphroaig.txt Port_Charlotte.txt); my $given_path = '/tmp/allfiles'; my $some_otherpath = '/tmp/nonemptyfiles'; for my $f (@files) { if( -f "$given_path/$f" && ! -z "$given_path/$f" ) { copy( "$given_path/$f", "$some_otherpath/$f" ) } }

BTW: you should watch out for the path separators on your system. On Mac, its the : (column) and not the / (slash) as in Unix/Linux and probably Win32 (maybe you need even the \\ (backslash) for the latter, but I can't really believe this ;-).

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
