I have a Perl code and i want to introduce my input files by regex. I have several files that start with CD* and I want to have an action on each file (The action is converting each file in an XML format) My Perl works fine for one specific file, which I address my input file by full name. Now my Questions are:

Firstly I don't know how to introduce my files as regex in Perl? with the below introduction, I get an error.

$filename=~ /^CD*/i

and secondly, how to save each file? I want to have my bash code on each input file and have a separate output for each input?

Best Regards, Sara

Have a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2149368/how-can-i-loop-through-files-in-a-directory-in-perl – manu190466 May 10 '20 at 12:20
I didnt understand. It was different from my question. – Sara Mirabi May 10 '20 at 12:34
The case you shared is compeletely different! – Sara Mirabi May 10 '20 at 12:38
If you want to sort files using a regex you need to loop through the files first. – manu190466 May 10 '20 at 12:47
i don't want to sort my files! I have said above, i want to run specific bashscript on a specific file names (starts with CD) in my perl code and have a function on it. – Sara Mirabi May 10 '20 at 12:50
