Listing all index files..

Hi guys hope u r well and can help :>)

I have a drive that contains a lot of files named "index.html".
These files are scattered through folders and subdirectories.

What Id like to do is the following:

1) Build a perl script that searches for all files named "index.html" on a particular given folder.
2) The script would scan this given folder and all subdirectories of THIS given folder and collect the full path and filename to each index.html file.
3) The script would then do the following....
a) In the directory where this script is executed, first check to see that there is no file called listindexes.html. If there is, first delete this file, and then recreate this file called listindexes.html
b) For each full path and filename returned for each index.html file, insert this full path and filename as a new line in listindexes.html in the following format....

<A HREF="<first full path and filename to index.html"><folder name (not full path) housing this index.hmtl></A>

where for example,

If the first full path and file name to index.html is

H:\rollovers\learning_areas\mysql_php\project_001#scriptdb_mysql\index.html

So, this entry in the newly created listindexes.html would be:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- listindexes.html
<A HREF="H:\rollovers\learning_areas\mysql_php\project_001#scriptdb_mysql\index.html">project_001#scriptdb_mysql</A>

If the second full path and file name to index.html is

H:\rollovers\learning_areas\\index.html

So, now listindexes.html would be:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- listindexes.html
<A HREF="H:\rollovers\learning_areas\mysql_php\project_001#scriptdb_mysql\index.html">project_001#scriptdb_mysql</A>
<A HREF="H:\rollovers\learning_areas\index.html">learning_areas</A>

You can see in the above that the title

eg.

<A HREF="H:\rollovers\learning_areas\index.html">learning_areas</A>
                                                                                  <----TITLE ------>
                                         is the
                                      folder "learning_areas"
                                       the folder in which index.html is stored.

So, basically,

The perl script is given a "parent folder" to scan for all index.html files it contains.
The script returns a list of the full path and filename to each index.html file.
It then first deletes a file called listindexes.html in the folder where the script is run, if it exists.
It then creates the file listindexes.html if it doesnt exist.
It populates the listindexes.html file with a new line for each index.html, whereby each line contains an ahref to the full path and filename to index.html, and the title for each is the foldername (not the full path) where that index.html file resides.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance. :>)
