Hi all,

    if ($p4have !~ /$local/)
    {
        print "$local - Extra File\n";
        $extra++;
    }

[download]

When $p4have contains value like "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Favorites" (i.e. without anyspecial character or german characters) it is working absolutely fine but if the $p4have contains any special chars or foreign chars (e.g. D:\docs\für_den_Integrator.pdf) it is always false.

Can someone help me to get rid of this problem.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Karthikeyaan A. R.
