Re: write/read to remote machine

hari9:

Hmmm ... interpolation and backslashes are giving you a different directory than you're wanting. Use forward slashes instead of backslashes, use single quotes, or double your backslashes. Also, $\ is a special variable, so using single quotes would prevent that from interpolating.

Did you double-up on the backslashes? The single quotes prevents $\ from interpolating, but '\\' still converts to '\': `Roboticus@Roboticus-PC ~ $ cat interp.pl #!/usr/bin/perl print '\\10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9', "\n"; print '\\\\10.64.30.27\\C$\\Users\\hari9', "\n"; Roboticus@Roboticus-PC ~ $ perl interp.pl \10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9 \\10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9` [download] ...roboticus	[reply] [d/l]
