Re: Regular Expressions

One minor issue. You have:

$filepath="c:\\reports";
[download]

However, the double-quotes will convert the '\\' to a '\', since '\' is a meta-character. You might try using single quotes instead:

$filepath='c:\\reports';
[download]

Hope this helps.

But then he should just use forward slashes, since they work just the same even under Windows, `'\'` is a meta charachter in single quoted strings too: `$ cat foo print '\\'; $ perl -l foo \` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
