    Hello all,

    I do have a beautiful script, that counts a size of specified files
    ("ABAA.txt", "ABAC.txt") in a directory test. I have got this script
    from discussion board.

    Here is the script:

    my $dir='c:\\test';
    my @files2check = ("ABAA.txt", "ABAC.txt");

    my $totalSize= 0;
    foreach (@files2check) {
       $totalSize += (-s "$dir\\$_");
    }

    print $totalSize;

    I would like to modify it that it will count the size of all files in the directory, EXCEPT those in list or so it will count the size of files that match first 2 characters "AB" (sort of AB*)
    Can anybody advice?

    Thank you for your time.
