( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Thanks, but there is still problems:
I get this output:
indir= M:\AllFiles, outdir=n:\allFiles
indir size=0 outdir size=0
indir= M:\AllFiles, outdir=n:\allFiles
indir size=0 outdir size=0
indir= M:\AllFiles\*, outdir=n:\allFiles
indir size=0 outdir size=0

This tells me that the -s function isn't working
which means it still isn't reading the directory information
Eventually, I want to check to see if there is enought
room, then execute a move function.
use strict; use warnings; use File::Copy; # yes, it is Windows XP and a drive letters assigned to a USB and a NA +S drive. # Indir and outdir will be a parameter in this format. my $inDir = "M:\\AllFiles"; my $outDir = "n:\\allFiles"; # test 1 straight in out in DOS format. MoveFiles($inDir,$outDir); # test 2 Try within quotes. MoveFiles("$inDir","$outDir"); # test 3 Try selecting ALL files in the directory MoveFiles($inDir."\\*", $outDir); sub MoveFiles { my ( $source, $destination ) = @_; my $source_size = (-s $source) || 0; my $destination_size = (-s $destination) || 0; move( $source, $destination ) if ($destination_size > $source_size); }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
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.
