Shell Programming and Scripting

Thanks Skrynesaver. I have tried with Your script as following.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;
# usage $0 startup
open (my $input, '<', "names.txt")
    ||die "Couldn't open names.txt file:\n\t$!\n";
while (<$input>){
    print "$_\n";
    find(sub {wanted($_)} , @ARGV);
}

sub wanted{
    if (/\.jsp?$/){
        my $regex=shift;
        open(my $current_file, '<', $_) || print "Could not read $_:\n\t$!\n";
        FILE:
        while(<$current_file>){
            if(/$regex/){
                print "$File::Find::name";
                next FILE;
            }
        }
        close($current_file);
    }
}

just I changed "startup" at the place of <directory list> and executed by placing some Object names in names.txt file.

I got the following error
-------------------------------
chiru (the first line in names.txt file)

Invalid top directory at /opt/perl/lib/5.8.2/File/Find.pm, line1

and in other server the error is:
----------------
chiru

invalid top directory at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/File/Find.pm line 585,<$input> line 1

So, please assist me to get out of this errors and You have mentioned only for .jsp, but I want the reference for .js (javascript )files and .xsl files also. and in the directory list plz mention How to give <directorylist>....I am running in the im0anku1(directory) ,in this directory I have the scripts and startup subdirectories.

Please help me .


Thanks.

Thanks Skrynesaver

when I run this script I got following error:
------------------------------
chiru (from input text file)

Invalid top directory at /opt/perl/lib/5.8.2/File/Find.pm line 568 ,<$input> line1.

I have the doubt about this place in the code
<directory list>
