Use the same conventions for path naming :)

i havn't used LINUX Terminal? please can suggest the syntax?

What exactly are you trying to do lol.

It should be something like cd <folder>

try this

Code:

---


#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$dirname = "/tmp";

opendir ( DIR, $dirname ) || die "Error in opening dir $dirname\n";
while( ($filename = readdir(DIR)))
{
    print("$filename\n");
}
closedir(DIR);

---

which platform are you writing this for? Windows, Mac, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Linux?
Are you sure you have a tmp directory?

{
    print("$filename\n");
}
closedir(DIR);

Here is complete code i am using:-
Error:- No such file or directory

Dir:-CUBAS_ComStack_COMMON(placed in same directory as script)

Code:

---

#!/usr/bin/perl

    use strict;
    use warnings;

    my $dir = '/CUBAS_ComStack_COMMON';

    opendir(DIR, $dir) or die $!;

    while (my $file = readdir(DIR)) {

        # Use a regular expression to ignore files beginning with a period
        next if ($file =~ m/^\./);

        print "$file\n";

    }

    closedir(DIR);
    exit 0;

Try removing the '/' from the dir name!

Your code is correct. Check the perms on the directory.

or try ./ are you sure that is right path name?

But it listing only one level..it consists of subdirectories also i want list files from subdirectories also..what must be logic?

Okay... this really has nothing to do with C. You probably want `ls -R /tmp` (for recursive) or `tree /tmp`. Both can be found in the manual.

true, about the c part, but for perl look up function

finddepth

are you trying to create the Unix find command?

for c programming try ftw function.

yeah right zacs!
at least move to general discussions.

but this can surely be done using C:

Code:

---

char cmd[512];
sprintf(cmd, "ls -R %s", dirName);
system(cmd);

Edit: I forgot to add my dreaded laugh!
MuwahahahahahhaHaHahahaahhaaahahahahha :D

Har har, you funny man :)

If you wanted to do it in C, opendir/readdir() would be your best bet. Rather trivial if you ask me ;)

Moved.
