Is it possible to do something to a string so that it gets escaped for a
shell command (i.e. if I'm executing a command and I have the file name
"foo's bar.jpg" it will be escaped to: "foo\'s\ bar.jpg"?
Right now the following script is giving me problems because whenever
the mv command is executed the file names never get properly escaped.
#! /usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
my @output = `ls`;
my $count = 1;
while ($_ = shift @output) {
chomp $_;
# print $_, "\n";
# $_ =~ s/ /\\ /;
print "mv ./${_} ./${count}.jpg\n" unless $_ =~ /rename.pl/;
$count++;
}
Thanks in advance,
Dan
