Hi all,
I am dealing with directories and I read somewhere that it is best to use /
rather than \ when dealing with directories. In order to cover my back - I
am attempting to parse the string and replace any \ with / using the
following:
print "Please enter directory to search: "; # directory prompt
chomp($dir = <STDIN>);
$dir =~ s/\///g;
But the regular expression is not replacing the slashes - can anyone assist
on this
I really appreciate your input
Regards,
Neil Barlow
