Sorry for the delay. I modified code that I found but get out of memory errors after six or so file names are listed. I see in the File::Slurp documentation that there's a way to read just filenames (and not the entire file contents as I believe that I'm doing below), but am not sure what to do with the following to just read the filenames.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Slurp;
use File::Find;

my $dir="C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\Desktop\\SVN\\trun
+k";

# read an entire file into a scalar (a.k.a. 'slurping')

find( \&show_subdirectories, $dir);

sub show_subdirectories{

    if ( -d ) {

        if ( $_ eq '.svn' ) {
            # don't traverse into subversion related directories
            $File::Find::prune = 1;
            return;
        }
        # for directories, only print path
        my $filepath ="$File::Find::name";
        return;
    }

    -f        or return;  # if not a file
     /\.(xls|mdb)$/ or return;  # if not the right extension

    my $perl = read_file( $_ );
    my $filepath="$File::Find::name";
    my @filearray=split(/\\trunk\//,$filepath);
    my $fileElt = $filearray[1];
 
    print "FILEARRAY is $fileElt and FILE is $_\n";
}

• 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).
