Re^2: space in filepath and in filename for system function

Thanks for your reply.

I have stored that path in a variable $file.

It is passing the variable name itself as a argument.

system ('adrl.exe', '$file') || die ("not correct path");

Well yes. It would. If you put it in a single-quoted string. Variables aren't expanded in single-quoted strings. You need a double-quoted string. Or, actually, you don't need any quotes at all. `system ('adrl.exe', $file) \|\| die ("not correct path");` [download] -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply] [d/l]
