Hello All,

I have a problem that has me stumped. I am using perl to do some ftp'ing of files. I have the script in place on another environment that is functioning flawlessly. But after tweaking it to the new environment I can't get it to function. I have a search string that searches for the file name and then executes the file and deletion of that file after the ftp. The only difference between the two environments is the file name is slightly different. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I use a XML file that contains the host information. I have included the following information:

Functioning Environment:
File Defination:file.serv1.YYYYMMDDhhmm-[0-9]{4}.log
File name: file.serv1.200712192300-0500.log

XML File Info:
<host_list hostname="serv1" althostname="" username="ftpuser" password="passwd">
<file_list>
<remote_dir>/app/logs</remote_dir>
<local_dir>targetlocation/targetdirectory</local_dir>
<remote_name>file.serv1.YYYYMMDDhhmm-[0-9]{4}.log</remote_name>
</file_list>

FTP PERL File:
$searchFilter = $remoteName."\$";
$searchFilter =~ s/YYYYMMDDhhmm/[0-9]{12}/;

@files = sort grep (/$searchFilter/, @files);

Non-Functioning Environment:
File Defination: fileYYYYMMDD.log
File name: file20071219.log

XML File Info:
<host_list hostname="serv1" althostname="" username="ftpuser" password="passwd">
<file_list>
<remote_dir>/app/logs</remote_dir>
<local_dir>targetlocation/targetdirectory</local_dir>
<remote_name>fileYYYYMMDD.log</remote_name>
</file_list>

FTP PERL File:
$searchFilter = $remoteName."\$";
$searchFilter =~ s/YYYYMMDD/[0-9]{8}/;

@files = sort grep (/$searchFilter/, @files);


Any Ideas?

Thanks in Advance.
