Capturing the path to a file(s)
If I invoke a Perl script that takes a pathname (with wildcard) as its only argument, how do I capture the path without the wildcard? Ex: perlscript.pl /Users/andyv/ps/* How do I capture the full path minus the wildcard into a variable (just /Users/andyv/ps/)?? Thanks! AndyV
