This isn't a Perl problem, it has to do with how your shell is processing the command-line parameters.
Put double-quotes around the directory name and you won't have a problem. -----Original Message----- From: Nishi Bhonsle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 11:44 AM To: beginners perl Subject: How to ignore spaces in directory names? Hi: In writing a perl script to read the contents of a directory on a windows system, i noticed that there are some directory names have spaces in them. How can I modify the line below so it would ignore the spaces in the directory name and still process it ? opendir DIR, $path or die "Can't open $path: $!"; P.S In the above line, $path is the directory path passed to the program as a command line argument. Thanks much. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
