Having a bit of a strange issue with a regular expression I was using to list all files of type .jpg in a folder. It seems it is missing files that are named very similar to the file before it.
Here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $dir = 'C:/Some/Random/Folder/tmp/bin';
opendir (DIR, $dir);
open(DATA, ">file.txt");
while (my $file = readdir(DIR)) {
# Use a regular expression to find files ending in .jpg
next unless ($file =~ m/\.jpg$/);
print DATA "C:\\Some\\Random\\Folder\\perl\\bin\\$file\n";
}
close(DATA);
The problem is I have a file named "test.jpg" and another called "testl.jpg" and the expression only picks up the first one. Other than that, it works fine.

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).
