Hello wise monks,
I have been trying to write a foreach loop in order to untar multiple tar.gz files that I (will) have in a directory. The script I've written is
#/bin/perl/
use strict;
use warnings;
# First, setting the directories we're interested in.
my $inputs = "~/inputs"; # inputs we upload to the server.
my $results = "~/results"; # results coming in.
my @array; # tarballs of the incoming results.
chomp (@array = system "ls $results\/*.tar.gz"); # putting all tar fil
+es in an array
# tar can't accept multiple tar.gz files as input
# arguments after the tarball filename are expected to be files to unt
+ar from the tarball.
foreach (@array) {
system "tar -tvf $results\/$_";
}
And this is the output I'm getting:
/home/user/results/results_back.tar.gz (my comment -> that's the ls c
+ommand output, so it is finding one tar.gz file, I only have one for
+now)
tar: 0: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
So there seems to be something wrong but I can't find what. As you can see, for now I'm only listing the tar.gz contents, if I get it working I'll add the real extract command.
Have I made a very obvious mistake? It would be great if you could give me a hint about what might be happening.
Thank you! :) I'd really appreciate any help :)

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).
