Hello Listers, A week or two ago, I emailed the group asking for help. I needed to search through an AppleShare volume and collect some information. Here is the program I came up with. Please comment this solution (which borrowed heavily from the Perl Cookbook and MacPerl Power and Ease). ---------- #!/usr/local/bin/perl use File::Find; $vol = "Projects:"; print "File Suvery on volume - $vol\n\n"; find (\&search_vol, $vol); sub search_vol { $cnt++; $filetype{MacPerl::GetFileInfo($_)}++; } print "\nFinal Count - $cnt\n"; foreach $i (sort keys %filetype) { print "$i - \t $filetype{$i}\n"; } print "\nDone with totals!\n"; ---------- Elton ========================================================================= NOVA Private Industry Council 505 W.
