Guru's, I need to append 13 text files into one. The file name and directory will always be static and remain the same. I tried the file copy command, but it just over wrote the previous file.

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

use File::Copy;

open(LOGFILE, ">> C:/Logs/RPT_APPEND.log");
my $targetfile = "C:/testrpt.txt";

my $procdate = sprintf "%04d%02d%02d %02d:%02d:%02d", (localtime)[5]+1
+900, (localtime)[4]+1, (localtime)[3], (localtime)[2], (localtime)[1]
+, (localtime)[0];

my @rpts = glob('//testserver/dir/*');

foreach my $x (@rpts) {
    print $x . "\n";
    copy($x, $targetfile); 
}

Help would be appreciated. Dave R.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
