i use Suse Linux.

i wanna copy all files listed in file:list4, but they are Chinese files with Chinese file names.

variable $1 and $2 are direcory names, and $3 is the Chinese file name.

almost half of the files are copied successfully, with the code as the follws :

system("cp $spath$1/$2/$3 $tpath$3");

however, if there are space,quotes, brackets, or dash lines in the file names, then the above code won't work.

if i add double quotes to variable $3, like :

system("cp $spath$1/$2/"$3" $tpath$3");

the syntax error messages are :

(Missing operator before $3?)

(Missing operator before " $tpath"?)

so,execution aborted due to compilation errors.

is there anyway to copy files with Chinese names and special characters in Suse Linux?

Thanks for any advise in advance !
