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

Greetings perl masters!

I am a beginner with perl and I would like to seek your help regarding my script.

My script should find a string within the files then copy it to a directory. When I test copy within my local dirs, the script works. But when I tried to copy from a source dir (which is linux), the script doesn't work.

Please help! Thanks!

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use File::Find; use File::Copy; my $target = 'C:\target'; my $pattern = 'SearchWord'; open my $copylog, '>', 'C:\target\copylog.csv' or die "Error opening c +opylog.csv: $!\n"; open STDERR, ">>&=", $copylog or die "Can't redirect STDERR"; $copylog->autoflush(1); find( sub { if (-f) { open my $file, '<', $File::Find::name or die "Error opening fi +le: $!\n"; while (my $line = <$file>) { if($line =~ m/$pattern/ig) { copy ($File::Find::name, $target) or die "Copy fai +led: $!"; print $copylog $_ . "," . $pattern . "\n"; } } close $file; } },glob ('Z:\Linux\site'));

Update:

I had used Loops sample and it worked:

use strict; use warnings; use File::Find; use File::Copy; use autodie; my $log = q(C:\target\copylog.csv); my $target = q(C:\target); my $pattern = qr(SearchWord); close *STDERR; open *STDERR, '>', $log; find( sub { if (-f) { open my $file, '<', $_; while (my $line = <$file>) { if($line =~ m/$pattern/ig) { copy ($_, $target); warn "$_, $pattern\n"; last; } } close $file; } }, glob ('Z:\Linux\site') );

It seems that copying from a drive with other platform should not be an issue. It is a matter of faulty script that does not make it work. Again, thank you guys for the time spent in dealing with my issue. All pointers are taken and I will apply it in my scripting.

Thanks and best regards!

Title:
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).
