andrew, if you are using paths, 1. escape the directory separator 2. and if the folder names have a space, use the dos 8.3 format.

I have now got a further problem. I am having trouble globbing files with spaces in them. When I run the following, I would like all files of type *.txt my $wildfile = "C:\Documents and Settings\BlackA\*.txt" ; @globbed_files = glob $wildfile ; print join "|", @globbed_files ; What I actually get is C:./Documents|and It seems to be splitting the input up at the spaces. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs **************************************************************************** ************************************************* The information contained in this email and any attachments is likely to be confidential and legally privileged, and is for the intended recipient named above only.
