This is fantastic! Although my output looks like its only showing me the final sub-folder's lines. I actually don't need this as each final sub-folder contains just 1 txt file. I want just one level up's directory to check for all sub-directories in that previous directory.

But I'm not seeing this....What am I doing wrong here? $curDir is showing me that final /test/test/BBB directory when I just want /test/test....but I need EVERY sub-folder from the root here of test .... Could a regular expression help out here to filter out everything after a the last / ?

So I'm seeing this:

/test/test1/bb1' do have the same number of lines
/test/test1/bb2' do have the same number of lines
/test/test1/bb3' do have the same number of lines
/test/test1/bb4' do have the same number of lines
/test/test1/bb5' do have the same number of lines
/test/test1/cc1' do have the same number of lines
/test/test2/cc2' do have the same number of lines
/test/test2/cc3' do have the same number of lines
/test/test2/cc4' do have the same number of lines
/test/test2/cc5' do have the same number of lines

So each folder here has 1 txt file. But I want to see this output instead:

/test/test1' do have the same number of lines
/test/test2' do not have the same number of lines
[download]

Or something of the like. I think I see what's happening that curdir is what's screwing this up. I just need this to be one level up and this would work beautiful

• 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).
