Re: File::DosGlob

Well, I don't know about File::DosGlob in particular, but I know that the builtin glob doesn't work with spaces in the filenames (see perlop). Perhaps it best to just readdir and grep yourself.

opendir DIR, $directory;
@duplicate = map { "$directory/$_" } grep { /\.txt$/ } readdir DIR;
closedir DIR;

glob seems to work just fine for filenames with spaces on Win2K, at least. In a directory with two long filenames, this one-liner prints them both: `perl -e "print map(qq($_\n),glob('*.txt'))"` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

No, I think the problem is spaces in the wildcards, not in the matches that are returned. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

myocom does some experimenting... Oh, say, that is broken (er, odd) isn't it...	[reply]
