in reply to File regex question

I believe this code will work. I assume that the filename is the last thing on the line so I split on the :/ after the drive letter (notice it handles both types of slashes) and then it substitutes spaces anywhere after that in the string:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; + while(<DATA>) { my @line=split /(:[\\\/])/; $line[2]=~s/ /_/g; print join "", @line; } __DATA__ 124334 2323 c:\program files\somefile 124334 2323 c:\program files\somepath\somefile 124334 2323 c:\program files\with space/somefile 124334 2323 c:\program files\with space/with another space/somefile
