Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Grep in Perl - Searching through multiple files Post 302628009 by WongSifu on Sunday 22nd of April 2012 07:04:09 PM

Thanks guys,

But I'm not sure if this is going to help me. Let me explain my issue a bit more.

I have a list of values and a folder that contains more files than I want to loop through. The values are contained in only a couple of the files. That is why I wanted to use GREP to populate an array (with the files) that I could then loop through the files in the folder that I care about.

Will using "system" work like that?
