As far as the Windows Find tool goes (which I know wasn't your original
question)... If the file name is in quotes, i.e. "Mortgage Market*" (WITH
the quotes), it performs as expected.
As far as perl goes...
Try replacing the spaces with questions marks. Also, FYI: glob will return
an array of names, so try:
@myFileList = glob "Mortgage?Market*"
foreach $myFile (@myFileList) {
# do whatever
}

Subject: Matching for filenames with spaces in them?
I asked this earlier but got no response, so all that is different is the
subject. Surely, there is some one in this group who can answer this
seemingly simple problem! -Frank
