  1. What is the exact requirement?
  2. You could use File::Find module of perl if you want to traverse through a directory structure.

Thanks for your time friend.
Here are the answers for your question:-

  1. Exact requirement is that i am listing output(how many files are there with timestamp) of specified directories in a file(Report.txt).
    But before printing output for every directory in loop i want to print a Message in Report.txt file that this output is for this "specified directory"....
  2. I will also try with that.... :slight_smile: ...
