The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Is it possible to loop through an array until conditions are met?

Asked by Angela_Wilcox in Perl Programming Language

Tags: , ,

I am currently using this code (in summary) to loop through my array -- but after once through - it ends.
------------
@all_load_files = glob("${path_gfr}\\ess\\${cube}\\datafiles\\*_Parms.txt");
 foreach (@all_load_files)
 {
    $curfile = $_;
    if (( -e ${curfile} ))
    {
    open (FH_CURFILE, '<', "$_") || die "Cannot open file $_: $!";

    while (<FH_CURFILE>)
        {
        chomp;
        ($app_name, $db_name, $cube_type, $shell_app_new, $shell_rule_db_new, $rules_file_name, $process_year) = split(/::/);
        }
    close (FH_CURFILE);
   
    if (((${db_name} !~ /FPRE/)) || ((${db_name} =~ /FPRE/) && ( -e ${fpre_ind_file} )))
        {
        rename "$curfile", "${path_gfr}\\ess\\${cube}\\datafiles\\Load_${master_app}_${db_name}_${cycle}_Selected.txt";
        REMAINDER OF CODE
        }
else
{  CONDITIONS NOT MET CODE
}
-------------------
Basically - the FPRE databases cannot run until their file indicator that the staging files have been created is met.  I need this logic to keep trying until the indicator is there... perhaps some other condition is met - like it tried 100 times or something...

Perhaps I thought - I should not be using an array for this... and that is where my logic is wrong.  The whole process is:
I have a directory of Parms files
I need to run a set of code for each parm file
After I select the parm file (i rename it so it is not used again) as two jobs are running this .pl
the FPRE databases have a special condition that must be met and I need to loop until that condition is met or a secondary failure consition is met.

Thanks Perl experts.  I have been doing this for one month now and am liking it but feel a bit lost in the more complex matters.
