Thank you both so much for the input! The Perl code seems to work well now; and I picked up yet another kernel of savvy
One last question, if folks have a moment.
Not furnished with network access yesterday afternoon, I fiddled for a while and found out why
Code:
while (`ls -a ~/.somedir | grep -e \"testFile\"` eq "testFile")
from the OP didn't work either.
Seems as though an unidentified character is being "automagically" appended to the "testFile" string which is returned to Perl. The following updated line works, but it seems a bit "sloppy" to allow anything aside from a neat eq operation with a string comparison operation like this:
Code:
while (`ls -a ~/.somedir | grep -s -e \"testFile\"` ge "testFile")
In the spirit of learning new stuff, is there a way of cleaning up this output with a bit of additional inline instruction to allow something like
Code:
while (`ls -a ~/.somedir | grep -s -e \"testFile\"` eq "testFile")

I am completely new to perl programming. My father is helping me learn said programming language. However, I am stuck on one of the assignments he has given me, and I can't find very much help with it via google, either because I have a tiny attention span, or because I can be very very dense.

zgrep
ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
