but it had eat upto 20 GB of diskspace..
one of similiarities is the count of character used in filename..
so , I did the following to delete it.. few thousand of them..
my $dir = "/tmp";
opendir (DH,$dir);
while (my $f = readdir (DH)) {
my $char = split ("",$f);
print scalar $char . " : $f \n";
if ( $char = 10 ) {
#system ( "rm -rf /tmp/".$f);
$file = $dir."/".$f;
unlink $file or warn "Could not unlink $file: $!";
print "deleted : $file"."\n";
}
};
closedir(DH)
Thank you for your post.
I tried to use the NEWLINE=1 – Option first, but it gave me strange output.
You just saved my day with your little ‘magic’ :o)
