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

Hello Perl Monks
I wrote a code to get the absolute paths of the files in a directory,but I get the path showing the files as present in current directory. Eg: Here, I'm using the directory Cluster1 on the desktop with files doc.txt,volt.txt and holiday.txt. The absolute path should be C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\Cluster1\\doc.txt. But, I get the output as D:\Prog\Perls\doc.txt(D:\Prog\Perls is the location where I execute my code).

$dirname="C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\Cluster1"; opendir(DIR, $dirname); @FILES= readdir(DIR); foreach $FILE (@FILES){ $fil_path = File::Spec->rel2abs($FILE); print "File path:", $fil_path; } closedir DIR;
Can you suggest a way to get the absolute path of the file from its original location.(I would also like the path to have 2 escape characters(\\) as a single one doesn't work while accessing a file.)
Thank you.

  • 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).
