Sorry, the file gets cut off at the '.
i.e. if a scalar variable is
/mnt/disk/sound/high_quality/how_now_brown_cow_ain't_happenin.flac
it will cut off at the ' in ain't. now my thought was something like this
here's something to be a little more descriptive:
my $i = /mnt/disk/sound/high_quality/how_now_brown_cow_ain't_happenin.flac;
if ( /[']/ ) {
link /tmp/tmp_music_file $i;
system flac qq(flac -c -d /tmp/tmp_music_file | rawplay);
}
This is a very crude example (the syntax is probably incorrect also but
hopefully you can tell what I'm trying to accomplish) of something that
would be implemented in my program.
Now this might work (though I haven't had time to get it to work yet). I
just know there's got to be a better way than this workaround.
This was the way I had it before:
my $i = /mnt/disk/sound/high_quality/how_now_brown_cow_ain\'t_happening.flac
system qq(flac -c -d $i | rawplay);
And it would output something like
flac can't play "/mnt/disk/sound/high_quality/how_now_brown_cow_ain'".
which basically skips the file, and makes my program useless for these files
unless I (or the user) renames their files. And yes I know ain't ain't a
word =)
thanks in advance

p.s. maybe a regexp to substitute would work...something like s/[']/[\']/g
but it doesn't seem to work..anyone?

You forgot to tell us WHAT problem do you have with those files.
