Re: Shell expansion with is funky

in reply to Shell expansion with <> is funky

The glob command is much better; pass it a wildcard-embedded string, and it returns a list of filenames that match it (assuming in CWD). If you need DOS-based matching, you can use File::DosGlob to replace the system glob with a slightly different version. In your code, specifically:

my @files = glob "$fpcdir/$project/*fpc";
foreach my $file ( @files ) {
   open FH, "<$file" or die $!;
   while (<FH>) {
      # inner loop unchanged...
   }
   close FH;
}

</CODE>
