I am new to perl so I need some help from the list with this script. It takes a value from command line and then returns afters processing. For example, If value is "c:\projects\test 2005.txt" the script will returns it as "test" (actually omitts any space in the directory or file name) while I want the full name of the file regardless of any space in the directory or filename. how can I get the value "test 2005.txt"?
#!/usr/bin/perl # file: basename.pl use strict; use File::Basename; my $path = $ARGV[0]; my $base = basename($path); my $dir = dirname($path); print STDOUT $base; any help will be greatly appreciated.
