Re^2: windows path problem

But you might want double quotes if you're going to be using the shell, as in

system( "dir $path" );
[download]

rather than bypassing the shell

system( 'dir', $path )';
[download]

Disclaimer: I'm a Unix guy. This would be true on Unix; does "MS-DOS 2010" still have a shell?

No, you wouldn't. "\" is not special to the cmd shell, and it doesn't use "\" for escaping.	[reply]
