Error while trying to open a file

ritchie has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:


        foreach $artefact (@objects)
        {
        $artefact=~ s/.bar//;
         print "artefact to be deployed is $artefact\n";
         
         my $file = "C:/abc/def/klm/Properties/$artefact.properties"; 
         open my $input_fh, '<', $file or die "failed to open '$file' 
+$!";
[download]

I get a error - failed to open 'C:/abc/def/klm/Properties/VerifyAccountId entity_Response .properties' Invalid argument at SIT_deploy.pl line 21, <INPUT> line 3. Could anyone please help me in fixing this error?

Check the file is exists or not. `$file='File Path'; print "\nFile $file ", (-e $file && -f $file ) ? "exists" : "doesn't e +xists";` [download] Get the OS error by using of $! `open (FILEHANDELER,"FILEPATH") \|\| die "Cannot open the input file : $! +";` [download] And check the file permission	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The file exists and it has read and write permission too. If i replace $artefact with the name of the file it works.	[reply]

Then either `$artefact` is not what you think it is (especially look for whitespace like newlines at the end of it) or you have filenames with "problematic" characters that don't fit within Latin-1. Also see directories and charsets Win32 FileSystem codepage encoding of file names	[reply] [d/l]

Could anyone please help me in fixing this error? Don't feed junk to open? `$ perl -Mautodie -e"open my$in, q!<!, q!echo\|! " Can't open 'echo\|' for reading: 'Invalid argument' at -e line 1` [download] on my operating system, filenames cannot contain \|	[reply] [d/l]

Did you notice that you have a space just before ".properties" in your file name? -- Regards - Samar	[reply]
