dir help

[Anon]

I need a script that searches a specified directory and tells me if a certain file is found.

there are files like this format
YYYY-MM-DD.sa

I have a page that has a list the dates that I wrote an article for, so the page would look something like this.

2001-04-01
2001-04-04
2001-04-05
2001-04-07
2001-04-09
2001-04-12

each date will have a link to the article.

I need a script that prints out dates found in the directory so I don't have to manually type them in everytime I add an article and then display it using a while/for loop.

Thanks

And your problem is....?
This is not a custom-made scripts emporium :-P

Search the forums for "recursive directory listing" and you'll soon find a script that can parse a dir and subdirs. The rest is so amazingly simple that I doubt you'll have any problems with it.

well i never worked with directories before, so if you can help me it would be great. I don't need to check subdirectories, only one directory.
