Do you mean C:\ or C: \ ? I see a space here. Since you are using double quote, you many want to use "C:\\" Here's the line you may want : @files = `dir C:\\ /s`; chomp @files; # clear the \n from the dos prompt new line. Now @files is a list for all the files in your C drive. OT for a bit, as a dos syntax, perhaps you want "/s/b/a/o" also.... hope this help
