( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Monks,

I have a perl scrit which accepts directory path and filenames through different argument names. For example :-

perl script_name.pl -dir "/home/test/input_dir" -file input_file_1 inp +ut_file_2 input_file_3
In my script I would open the files as follows :-
foeach my $file_names ( @file_names_passed ) { open ( FH , "$dir_path/$file_name) or die "$!"; # managed to do some operation on the file. close(FH); }

But, if I run the same script in windows OS, I have to specify "\\" for delimiting the path. ( unix it is "/" ).
Is there any common character available to delimit the path regardless of what OS I am using this script ?

Apologies If I anyone got irked because of this question.



i m possible

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
