Subject: Openning Files Names with Embedded Spaces
Hi,
I am using Active Perl under Windoze 98. I am trying to open a file that has
embedded spaces. I tried escaping the spaces as well, and that didn't work
either.
#! perl -w
$file = "c:\\win\\start menu\\programs\\system\\tbs montego\\_visit turtle
beach web site.lnk";
print "file = $file\n";
