Hello again,
I need to make sure a given path has an ending path separator:
my $file = 'joemama'; my $path = '/foo/bar/wiz'; $path .= '/' if $path !~ m/\/$/;
So I can then do "$path$file" and ensure its /foo/bar/wiz/joemama and not /foo/bar/wizjoemama
The question is, DIfferent systems use different seperators, / \ :
So I'd like to use a portable way to specify the seperator instead of harcodeing it into the code.
I'm wondering if $Config{path_sep} is what I'm looking for, it seems to make sense but on my Mac OS X, and some FreeBSD and Linux servers in the shell its all / but that var is : so I'm a bit confused :)
my $sep = $Config{path_sep} || '/'; my $file = 'joemama'; my $path = '/foo/bar/wiz'; $path .= $sep if $path ....
Any ides how to safely find if the current OS uses / \ : or whatever in path names?
Is $Config{prefix} (or one of its cousins) what I'm looking for instead?-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
