Good Morning,
I have what I think is a trick question and is causing me a bit of trouble: My command line looks similar to this: command.pl -r"z:\Tech Team" -p"/Tools Team" -f"File Found Today.txt" -v"RDP 1.2_A" What I'm trying to check for is to make sure when people run my script, they have each option surrounded by the double quotes, as you see above. To check this, I was at first trying to see what $opt_r as returned by 'getopts' was set to, but it strips off my quotes automatically, so there is no way to see what was actually input vs what is interpreted. Thus, I tried to see what @ARGV contained. @ARGV does the same thing! Here is a description of what I mean. If I look to see what $ARGV[0] is set to (from command above), it will say: -rz:\Tech Team (no quotes) whereas I was hoping it would say: -r"z:\Tech Team" (keeping my quotes) That way, if my command line was bad and looked like this: (Notice missing quote between -rz right after command.pl) command.pl -rz:\Tech Team" -p"/Tools Team" -f"File Found Today.txt" -v"RDP 1.2_A" ARGV[0] would return: -rz:\Tech Team" and I would be able to catch the missing quote error. Perhaps I'm overlooking something, soif anyone can offer any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!
