Re: [SHELL] Detect backslash in command line args

You might try this:

$ perl -e 'die "error:  @ARGV[0]" if @ARGV[0] =~ /\\/' foo\\bar
error:  foo\bar at -e line 1.

perl -e 'die "error: @ARGV[0]" if @ARGV[0] =~ /\\/' foo\\bar That works, but passing 'foo\\bar' is not an error. The error I want to catch is when I pass 'foo\bar'. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
