Hello,

Hello,

I have found a nice utility
http://www.novell.com/communities/node/389/adm+file+utilities+2+5
that has two problems:

has *many* problems.


1) It creates directories and files but it uses the \ backslash so it does not work on a linux machine.

Is there a constant or a function that give back the right character ( / for linux, \ for windows console ) ?

Use / on both Linux and Windows.


2) It does ignore Umlaute ( special german characters )

is there a clean way in perl to convert all the umlaute to ascii standard characters while reading from a file or as in this case in a array ?

3) No use of warnings or strictures.

4) There is no error checking for system calls.

5) It is Perl4 code from 8 years ago.


The script reads in the file once
open(ADMFILE,$admFile);
@all=<ADMFILE>;
close(ADMFILE);


foreach(@all) {
.....

Your question is?
