Re^2: Usig file name without backslash escape

In a regex or double-quoteish string, a \ (backslash) escaped = or , is no different than the unescaped character.

>perl -wMstrict -le
"my $file = 'a=b,c=d,e';
 $file =~ s/\=/\=/g;
 $file =~ s/\,/\,/g;
 print qq{unchanged: '$file'};
"
unchanged: 'a=b,c=d,e'

I got it working that way: `<code> #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $file; opendir(DIR, "$newDir"); my @FILES= readdir(DIR); closedir DIR; foreach (@FILES) { $file = $_; if ($file ne "..") { if ($file ne ".") { my $newFile = "/home/iphone/Maildir/ne +w/$file"; my $curFile = "/home/iphone/Maildir/cu +r/$file"; rename $newFile, $curFile or die $!; } } }` [download] </code> Thanks for help Robert	[reply] [d/l]
