Hi All
As i was continuing with perl i created a program to churn out
individual
directory names from a given path in windows.Here is the program:
#use warnings;
#use strict;
Print "Enter the path:";
my $dir=<STDIN>;
chomp($dir);
my @DIR=split ///, $dir;
print $DIR[0];
but it throws an error "Search pattern not terminated"
The regexp for split should have the slash escaped (/\//), or m//
delimiters could be changed (m{/}) to avoid backslashes, which do not
contribute to readability (except for negative values of contribute :-).
Just for the record, the standard module File::Spec does that.
