Re^4: How to pass a file to GetOpt

No such file or directory - [C:\Users\Mruppe2\workspace\Perl] at 5MinI
+nterval2.pl line 11.

The actual file path is longer than that. The error_log is actually just a file, I don't believe that it has an extension.

  perl 5MinInterval2.pl -input C:\Users\Mruppe2\workspace\Perl 5 Essen

You'll need to quote pathnames with embedded spaces: `perl 5MinInterval2.pl -input "C:\Users\Mruppe2\workspace\Perl 5 Essent +ial Training\MPMStats Project\error_log" -output C:\temp\output9.csv` [download] -- Ken	[reply] [d/l]

OP: for reasons like this, I recommend not putting spaces in any filenames. It makes things much easier in the long run.	[reply]

Whereas I agree that it's better to avoid spaces, unfortunately we don't always have control over filenames. It may be ok to not care about spaces in quick and dirty test scripts, but we normally don't have that luxury in production environments for example. It's better when the code is prepared to handle unusual characters in the file names rather that assume that they will never happen.	[reply]
