Is there a way to get Perl to support wildcard command-line arguments like "*.txt" on Windows?
Yes, you can make Perl support wildcard command-line arguments like "*.txt" on Windows by leveraging the glob
function from the File::Glob
module. Here's an example:
perluse strict;
use warnings;
use File::Glob ':glob';
# Get the list of files matching the wildcard pattern
my @files = bsd_glob($ARGV[0]);
# Process each file
foreach my $file (@files) {
print "Processing file: $file\n";
# Your logic here to process each file
}
In the above code, $ARGV[0]
represents the command-line argument that contains the wildcard pattern. The bsd_glob
function from the File::Glob
module expands the wildcard pattern and returns a list of matching files. You can then iterate over this list and perform your desired operations on each file.
To use the File::Glob
module, you may need to install it if it's not already available on your system. You can install it using the following command:
arduinocpan File::Glob
After installing the module, you can run your Perl script with a wildcard pattern as a command-line argument, and it will process all the files matching the pattern.
