Hi Monks,
Being completely new to Perl and regexps, I thought the best way to learn is to get some practice. I thought I was getting the hang of it with simpler searches so I tried to use it for a problem at work. Here's where I got stuck: There are a series of folders and each folder is named like so: "6 digit number" "optional ." "optional 2 digit number" "optional letter" i.e. ######, ######.##, or ######.##a Inside each folder is a file with the same name as the folder plus "_vml_1.htm". i.e. 274813.99a_vml_1.htm and inside this file I want to find <foldername>_vml_1.emz and replace it with <foldername>_gif_1.gif Here's a little test program I realize I must be doing something really stupid when I try to match the foldername. But I can't figure out why the expression after \d{6} does not work. Please help shed some light on this so I don't have nightmares ;-) Thanks in advance!
