Re: Re: File list by date

Careful! Checking the description of readdir it says one must either chdir or prepend the $dir if you want to do filetests.

foreach (sort {-M qq($dir/$b) <=> -M qq($dir/$a)} readdir(ROOT)) {
   print $_, $/;
}
[download]

for example.

Using this method (snax), is there a way to only list files that are one hour old, or two hours old, etc.?	[reply]

Nope :) For OS ways to do this, the *nix answer is to use find and sort. Perl is definitely a reasonable way to go when you want this kind of response. I usually pipe `ls -lt` through `head -N` to just see the more recent files, though, and vary `N` as necessary. But then again, I'm lazy :)	[reply]
