Hi All, I am knocking my head against a wall trying to work with directories with spaces.
I need to translate some file paths like the one below: /data/scanning/phil/edits/gary/finished/STI 9-10-06/E0102.tif into /var/www/phil/pix/E0102.jpg (I need the path to the tif to make the jpeg). If I glob the files in the parent directory and then File::Basename I end up with 'STI' as the filename and the rest of the program fails. foreach my $d (@dirs) { print STDERR "reading files from $d.\n"; my @tif = glob("$d/*tif"); foreach my $t (@tif) { my $base = basename("$t"); (my $j = $base) =~ s/tif$/jpg/; print STDERR "Found $base $j $t\n";; push(@names,$n); } } Is there some quoting scheme I should be using? Or do I have to use a regex to grab the filename from the end of the string? TIA.
