Another solution would be to replace the glob() statement with a readdir and
then compare the filenames like this:
my @files;
my @matches;
chdir "L:/Desks/Agency Passthru Trading/Reports/" || die "Could not change
to directory!";
opendir(DIR,".") || die "Could not open directory for reading!";
@files = readdir(DIR);
while(shift @files){
if($_ =~ /Mortgage Market Review Package/i){
push @matches,$_;
}
}
print "Here are the matching files:\n";
foreach $match(@matches){
print " $match\n";
}
It makes your code a little longer, but I think it should work. (I haven't
tried this since I don't have access to my regular materials).

The only solution (and it's not a good one) is to replace all the spaces
with a ? (question mark).

I asked this earlier but got no response, so all that is different is
the
subject. Surely, there is some one in this group who can answer this
seemingly simple problem! -Frank
