Finding files in a specific directories

[swgopal]

Hi,

I need to search for the list of *.a files in a specific directory and run the unix "ar" command to extract the archives.

Ex:
Directory locations could be - /u1/app/dev_1/1.2.3/lib/archive_1.a
/u1/app/dev_2/1.2.3/lib/archive_2.a
/u1/app/dev_3/1.2.3/lib/archive_3.a

Within archive.a we might have set of *.o i.e object files.

Required output:
while running the extract command on archive_*.a files we need to write the extracted object file name into a file.

Can you please let me know how do accomplish this.

Thanks in Advance.

Use the File::Find module. It is part of the base install of 5.6.x+ iirc.

Hi,

try this:

$dir=specified_directory
@a_files=<$dir/*.a>;
foreach(@files)
{
system(&quot;ar ..options.. $_&quot;
#I don't know ar, therefore don't know which options to use
}
$OUTPUT_DIR=..blabla..
@o_files=<$OUTPUT_DIR/*.o>;
#$OUTPUT_DIR is where ar saves those decompressed files;
open(FILE,&quot;>files.txt&quot;
foreach(@o_files)
{
print FILE $_;
}
close(FILE);

Hope that helps
