OT:Is this the right forum for HTML help?

They would also have to download it and unpack it to verify that it is indeed the latest turn and that I haven't messed up.
With the turn number in the file name it's easier for both them and me to know that all is ok.

I'd prefer to keep it to PBW standards.

I almost doesn't know it either, it's just an acquaintance, not a friend.

Just a way to get all filenames in a directory into a variable would be very helpful.

In perl, just use opendir and readir thus;

$directory = '/tmp/files';
@files = ();
opendir (DIR, $directory);
while ($file = readdir(DIR)) {
push @files, $file;
}
closedir(DIR);

and @files has your list of files.

Thanx, will test this!

It fixed one of the problems, the one with listing the files, now I just need to fix the upload.

THANX!!!

Hey, maybe, I can use the same solution for that one... will see

I've made a script with your help that finds the right filename but when it shall download it it says "no such file", arghh!
