Hello,
I'm trying to do a Perl script on Windows (wish it was Unix) that goes to a directory, figures out which files are most recent, within the last week, then copies them to another dir. I'm stuck at the sorting of the files in a directory. This part of the code returns a list but it's not sorted by date: - opendir(INPUTINFO, ".") or die "Doesn't work: $!";
-
my @xmlfiles = grep /\.xml$/, readdir INPUTINFO;
-
my@sorted =
-
map {join'/',(split/-/)[1,2,0]}
-
sort
-
map {join'-',(split'/')[2,0,1]}
-
qw(12/31/2000 12/26/2000 01/01/2001), @xmlfiles;
-
print "$_\n" for @xmlfiles;
-
print "\n";
I'm guessing it's the sort. Would file::stat work better?
Thanks,
TEVO

To sort the files based on modified time/date, you can make use of stat() function : -
print "$_\n" foreach(sort {(stat($a))[9]<=>(stat($b))[9]} @xmlfiles);

Yes, but that is not very efficient since it will have to stat() files more then one time. Better to build an array or hash of sort keys first, then sort the keys.

Agreed. Thanks for the update Kevin :) -
$stathash{$_} = (stat($_))[9] foreach(@xmlfiles);
-
print "$_\n" foreach(sort {$stathash{$a}<=>$stathash{$b}} keys %stathash);
