I haven’t tried to run this code, but just looking through it there are two obvious problems:
-
Within a regex, a dot matches any character other than a newline (unless the regex has an /s modifier). So /txt.fit/ matches “mytxt.fit”, but it also matches “yourtxtafit”, “histxt0fitandmore”, etc. You need to backslash the . to make it match a literal dot only: /txt\.fit/; and unless “fit” may be followed by other characters, you want: /txt\.fit$/.
-
$tree is a scalar variable. Within the inner while loop, each time the line $tree = $_; is executed, it overwrites whatever was in the variable. So when this inner loop finishes, only the last line containing “Tree mixture” is written to the output file. Here is one way to correct this (untested):
foreach my $file (@files)
{
my $outfile = "$file.tre";
open(IN, '<', $file) or die $!;
open(FILE, '>>', $outfile) or die $!;
while (my $tree = <IN>)
{
next unless /Tree mixture/;
$tree =~ s/Tree mixtureTree=//;
print FILE $tree;
}
close FILE or die $!;
close IN or die $!;
}
Hope that helps,
