With double quotes, you are not getting waht you think. When
slashes(\) and double quotes are involved, then need to double the
slashes or use single quotes.

Again the double quotes and the \ are not doing what yiou think.

Either you have code missing or you think something is happening
by the opendi. At this point, you have an open directory and attempted
open output, but no where do I see you doing the printing of the
file(s).
Is there code missing or is this it?
If you have any questions and/or problems, please let me know.
Thanks.
