[Perl] Determine directory name
Hi there,
I wonder if it is possible the determine a name of a directory which is different on various hosts. Let me try to explain. I have the directory /tmp/dir1/dir2/canchangedir. This directory name is different on various hosts. I need to use the directory name, independent from the host I am on. This is the directory structure on all hosts (example): /tmp/dir1 /tmp/dir1/dir2 /tmp/dir1/dir2/canchangedir /tmp/dir1/dir2/canchangedir/dir3 /tmp/dir1/dir2/file1 /tmp/dir1/dir2/file2 /tmp/dir1/dir2/file3 The name "canchangedir" is different on all hosts. The structure is the same and the dir1 and dir2 name too. I tried with find and basename, but did not succeed. Anyone out there that can do the magic ?? Thanks, E.J. |

Okay, a bit short (open it ? search it ? search what ?) , but I think I got it. Code:
@dir2_contents = </tmp/dir1/dir2/*>;
foreach $item (@dir2_contents) {
if ( -d $item ) {
$needed_dir = basename($item);
}
}
printf "needed_dir = $needed_dir\n";
