Hi, I have used like this to count no. of lines in a file on unix. $nl = `cat $filename | wc -l` It works fine. But one of the files having a blank in it's path like this. j:/org/temp/Program Files/source/myfirst.cpp Cat fails in this case because there is a blank between Program and Files in the directory name. How to solve this without changing the directory.? I have lready an array stored with file names along with its' path. When I have unzipped a .zip file it had created all the directories itself and stored the files like that. Thanks Ashok
