Hi, y'all!
I've got a problem with a Perl Script I wrote to find files matching a special
pattern. It worked fine until I commented it. From that time on the program has got
problems with that WIN32 feature called "You want spaces in your file name? Then do
it!". If the program finds a directory containing a space, it returns the path without
spaces and backslashes. This doesn't make sense to me (especially because it worked
before). Following is the snipplet from the source that causes the troubles:
sub searchFiles {
# get the arguments
(my $currDir) = @_;
# get all files in the directory matching the file filter
my @allFiles = glob("$currDir\\$filter");
The glob function (I found that one out with debugging) causes the problems. The $file
variable contains the complete path to check next, and $filter contains the file
filter (e.g. "*.java").
BTW: This program was supposed to work either under Unix AND Windows. Is there a
chance to get the path separator for the current operating system like in Java
(File.pathSeparator)?
Thanks in advance
Jochen Berger
