How can I extract just the elements I want from a Perl array?
- by Flamewires
Hey I'm wondering how I can get this code to work. Basically I want to keep the lines of $filename as long as they contain the $user in the path:
open STDERR, ">/dev/null";
$filename=`find -H /home | grep $file`;
@filenames = split(/\n/, $filename);
for $i (@filenames) {
if ($i =~ m/$user/) {
#keep results
} else {
delete $i; # does not work.
}
}
$filename = join ("\n", @filenames);
close STDERR;
I know you can delete like delete $array[index] but I don't have an index with this kind of loop that I know of.
