How can I filter a specified File Type.

[icezero]

I need to filter a Filetype. the specification of that files are the date.

 
For Ex. file a) XXX11072002XXX
             b) XXX01012002XXX

So, i only want to filter the files from the 11.7 th date.

Is this from an array or the filesystem?

If it's the filesystem, and it's unix, try:

ls ???1107*

if it's the filesystem, and it's Windows, try:

dir ???1107*.*

if it's an array, try:

my @filtered_files = grep { /^...1107/ } @files;

Hi, Below mentioned script is filter and display all files whose file type is 33188.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use File::stat;

sub dodir {
    opendir(DIR,$_[0]) or die "Couldn't open $_[0] directory $!";
    my $dir=$_[0];
    print "\n Directory name is $dir";
    if ( $dir !~ /\/$/ ) 
    { 
        $dir .= "/";
    }
    my @List=readdir(DIR);
    closedir(DIR);
    splice(@List,0,2);
    foreach my $file (@List) {
      $file = $dir.$file;
     if( -d $file) { dodir($file); }
     elsif (stat($file)->mode == 33188 ) { print "\n File $file is pre
+sent in $dir"; print "\n File type: ",stat($file)->mode; }
    }
    
}

my $dir_name="/home";
if ( -d $dir_name) {
    dodir($dir_name); 
}
