Why does the following work (eg, give me an array filled with matching file names):
@filelist = glob("w:/stleg/Colorado/House_98/*.htm");
And when I rename the directory to "House 98" (space instead of underscore), the following does not:
@filelist = glob("w:/stleg/Colorado/House 98/*.htm");
--As for the rest, it is mine.
(I'll assume you have both folders.)
Simple: glob is based on the shell behavior, and shell considers a space to be the end on argument. So, in the latter you are telling it to open two different filename patterns.
Try this:
@filelist = glob("w:/stleg/Colorado/House\ 98/*.htm");I think that should work... (It escapes the space.)
