Perl Script - Map Individual File to a Specific Directory
Would like to add this to my existing PERL script. Project created mapping between a Manufacturing release version and a Business release version numbers. Based on the Manufacturing release database schema file .e.g. db_AB_17.43.03, I want to map this back to the business version. So, given the file “db_AB_17.43.03” I want to get the Business version. All of this is laid out in a directory hierarchy like the following.
Window Directory hierarchy structure:
CM
Bus-Version --
Manurf-Version
DB db_AB_17.43.03

Are you only given the filename or the entire filepath for the db file? If only the filename, how do you know what directory it is in or where to find the file?
ASKER
Just the filename. Typically I traverse the directory structure looking for the file.
How do you currently traverse the directory structure looking for the file? Or is that part of what you need to add?

Thanks I will check it out. May take a week. Mucho appreciated!

Forget to mention I will be running this script in a Unix/Solaris platform, and the directory/file is mount on Windows. We use samba. How does this make a difference with the code snippet?
Just to be sure I understand. The script will run on Solaris. The file system is Windows (but it is mounted on Solaris via samba). Is that correct?
In any case, it should not affect the script at all. You just need to point the script at the right location in the filesystem ('/path/to/CM' in the script).

Yes, that is correct. I will give it shot next week.
