Repeat action for multiple files
I am making a basic logfile analsys script and need to process each log file.
foreach would be the obvious choice but how could I implement it?
For example,
foreach @file
{
# Processing code
}
Thanks,

foreach my $file (@files) { .. }
ASKER
So if I wanted to just search for a string in each file and print the line when found would it be something like this?
foreach my $file (@files)
{
foreach $line (@files) {
chop $line;
if($line =~ /string/)
{
print "$line\n";
}
}
}
Probably missed something obvious here, but how does it know what each file is called to open?

Tintin,
:-( probably very slow, and not very perlish ;-)

Certainly not very perlish, but would be quicker in most circumstances than opening the file and searching for the string.

Hi gurus,
I have to check in my backup log files that my file has been backed up or not.
My file names are in one file: PM.lst, which contains all the names of the files that should be backed up.
The Directory where to find: /DDUMPS/logs (the log files dir.)
If the backup will be successful, then at the last line, it is written “successfully completed”.
The scenario: we basically save our files at a designated location (for backup purpose) /DDUMPS, and from there the backup s/w picks up the files not yet backup up & took the backup, but some time the successful backup is done in 3 attempts, don’t know why but this happened.
Now the task: I have to write a script either shell or perl, which will go to that dir /DDUMPS/logs and look for my file names (from PM.lst) in all those log files, when found, then check the last line of that log file: is it written successfully completed or not.
Very best regards,
Thanks a lot in advance for you people kind help.
