Subject: Opening a directory for writing

Hi,

I am reading all the files in a directory through readdir....Now after
reading each of the file and processing it, I want to write their output one
by one to a different
directory.

Please suggest on how can this be done?


Hi,
you may follow some logic like below:

while (my $file = readdir DIR) {
next if $file =~ /^\.+$/;
my @handled_result = your_handling_routine($file);
open OUT,">","/other/path/$file.out" or die $!;
print OUT @handled_result;
close OUT;
}

you just open a file in other directory with write mode and then print to this file handle.
see:
perldoc -f open
perldoc -f print
