Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Checking files in folder using starting string for filename Post 302540313 by joeyg on Wednesday 20th of July 2011 09:59:17 AM

Question Please clarify...

Code:
Folder1
  FileA
  DoorB
  DoorC
Folder2
  DoorD
  DoorE
Folder3
  FileB
  FileC
Dir1
  FileD
  DoorF

Assuming the above names and structure, what exactly are you trying to do?
Please note that
Folder and Dir names are for the various folders.
File and Door names are the respective filenames.

So, for instance, are you trying to find all filenames that begin "File" in any directory or only those named "Folder"?

If I have this all wrong, please clarify with examples.

Email::Folder(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Email::Folder(3pm)

NAME
Email::Folder - read all the messages from a folder as Email::Simple objects. SYNOPSIS
use Email::Folder; my $folder = Email::Folder->new("some_file"); print join " ", map { $_->header("Subject") } $folder->messages; METHODS
new($folder, %options) Takes the name of a folder, and a hash of options If a 'reader' option is passed in then that is used as the class to read in messages with. messages Returns a list containing all of the messages in the folder. Can only be called once as it drains the iterator. next_message acts as an iterator. reads the next message from a folder. returns false at the end of the folder bless_message($message) Takes a raw RFC822 message and blesses it into a class. By default this is an Email::Simple object but can easily be overriden in a subclass. For example, this simple subclass just returns the raw rfc822 messages, and exposes the speed of the parser. package Email::RawFolder; use base 'Email::Folder'; sub bless_message { $_[1] }; 1; reader read-only accessor to the underlying Email::Reader subclass instance PERL EMAIL PROJECT
