Re: create directory with input

\backslashes escape inside Perl strings and things like "\U" mean uppercase the following characters.

Maybe try to escape the backslashes

"C:\\Users\\darkblack\\...

or use Unix style paths.

"C:/Users/darkblack/...

It didnt work What was the error message,"Invalid argument" ?. Try adding `chomp` `#!perl use strict; use warnings; my $cwd = 'C:/Users/darkblack/Desktop'; print "Enter directory name > "; chomp(my $dir = <STDIN>); $dir = "$cwd/$dir"; mkdir( $dir , 0755 ) or die "Could not create $dir : $!"; print "Directory $dir created successfully\n";` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l] [select]
