 Filehandle Comparing? Hello, all,
I am opening a folder in which holds just .dat files. I set the
filehandle DATFILE for all of the .dat files (or, more precisely, each
of them).
open REGFILE, "$ENV{'BASEFOLDER'}/$ENV{'DATFILES'}/";
my ($email,$password,$name) = <REGFILE>;
Right now I need to compare one variable, $address, to the name of
each dat file. How do I do this? I tried:
if REGFILE eq $address {
#Commands
Quote: }
But perl did not seem to want the filehandle. What can I do?

speaking) a thing associated with a file that enables perl to do
different things with it (write to, read from etc.). You will have to
store the second argument to open in a variable and check this variable
(containing a string) with $address. As far as I know there is no
Perl-function that returns the filename belonging to a filehandle. Bear
in mind that a filehandle does not have to represent a file on your
disk. It can also be a socket or an anonymous file (such as what
IO::File::new_tmpfile creates). These things don't even have a filename.

You're not doing that. You try to open a directory as if it was a file.
That won't work.
You need a glob. That way, you can get a list ofthe paths of the .dat
files, and you can process them all, one by one.

That doesn't make any sense. What file do you want to read your
($email,$password,$name) from? You can compare your $address to each of
any positives unless your address includes the full file path and a
".dat" extension.

a pattern match to take out just the name of the dat file to compare
it with the $address.
