Pattern Matching II

[Anon]

Hi,

OK, so this still isn't working for me. This is what I have :

<?php
$dirPath = opendir(´images/march´);
while ($file = readdir($dirPath)) {
if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != (ereg(".html$", $file))) {
echo "The Filename is $file <BR>";
}
}
?>

In Perl it would be accomplished like this :

#!/usr/bin/perl
readdir (THEDIR, "images/march");
foreach $file (<THEDIR>) {
if ($file =~ /.html/) { print ("The file name is $file.\n"); }

I've tried ereg and preg_match, and neither seem to work. I guess I could try just matching the files I need, instead of trying to exclude some, but at this point I'm very curious on why this doesn't work!

Thanks!

if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != (ereg(".html$", $file)))

This won't work because ereg returns an int, and $file is a string.

You are checking to see if "'bla.html'==1"

Vincent,

Thanks...I understand what you're saying, and now have the script working!
