#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use File::Find; my $dir = '/home/me/Desktop/tasks/Korpora/'; my $string = 'Alice '; open my $results, '>', '/home/me/Desktop/results.txt' or die "Unable to open results file: $!"; find(\&printFile, $dir); sub printFile { return unless -f and /\.html$/; open my $fh, '<',, $_ or do { warn qq(Unable to open "$File::Find::name" for reading: $!); return; }; while (<$fh>) { if (/\Q$string/) { print $results "$File::Find::name\n"; return; } } }

Dear Monks, I have a big directory with html articles, where I would like to search for several strings at the same time. For example for: Alice, Tom, Jamie, party, something. How can I do it with the module file find? I have already tried to search for $string1 and $string2 and also $string1&&string2, but it doesn't work. I am a newbie and haven't worked with file find before, but it seems to be the easiest way. Can you help me? Thanks in advance!

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.
