Re: Can I use a regex here?

in reply to Can I use a regex here?

Since the filenames follow a pattern, if the number of files is indeterminate or you perfer not to use the individual declarations shown above, you could do something like this:

rename $_, $OUT_DIR . "/allfiles/$_" for (glob 'pair*' . $RUN_NAME . '.log');

Alternately you could use opendir and readdir with a regex to check the filename instead using of shell-like globbing.

This sounds good. My thinking is that since there is a pattern, I would like to use that in some way. Most of the suggestions to my earlier post sound good. However, if your suggestion works, it would be perfect.
Thanks
