% Hi,
Hello!
%
% I am a begginer in perl?
% i have a doubt.
Welcome :-)
%
% when i create a file it should not have space bar in it's file name;
% eg help file
% if it is there it should not create the file, it should throw a error
% message "space in file name not allowed"
OK. We'll figure that you're getting the filename as input somehow,
since you're probably not generating random strings to have to worry
about spaces from yourself :-)
A simple pattern match will test for the space, and then you can continue
on. Assuming we grab the input and store it as $input, something like
...
if ( $input =~ / / ) # match a space
{
die "space in file name not allowed";
}
open (FILEHANDLE,$input);
...
Some people like to write this sort of thing as
die "space in file name" if ( $input =~ / / );
or even
die "space in file name" if $input =~ / / ;
but I'm a bit pedantic about my pretty-printing :-)

% can u help me in this.
Here's an attempt...
