[weberw]

In Perl , When I am traversing through a directory of files and I want
to create an html link when the file extension is .html how would you
do this?

I would write a Perl program to do it for me.

How have you tried to do it?

I would do it with the m// operator and the print() function.

What did you try, and how did that fail to meet your requirements?

you can use find/perl on the Linux command line:

find -type f -name '*.html' -print0 | perl -F/ -aln0e 'print qq(<a
href="$_">$F[-1]</a>)'

Yes paul.

Well lets see here. Apparently finding *.html in a directory is alot
easier than creating a link. 50/50. Where does the link go? E-mail,
a web page from a cgi, asp, a Word doc? What good is semi-automation?

Yes paul.

He didn't ask if you tried to do it, he asked *how* you tried to do it.

Let's see what you tried!

We can often fix code (if we can see the code).
