Hi,
Trying to muck with the FCheck (a file integrity checker),
and due to my poor understanding of qx and the various '`" and such,
I'm tearing my hair out.
$HASHFunc = "C:\\fcheck\\md5sum.exe";
$filename = "c:\\temp\somelongfilename.txt";
$shortname = Win32::GetShortPathName($filename);
$x = qx("$HASHFunc $shortname");
Two problems. First is that I can't make the qx call with
$filename, have to use $shortname - why? Second is that if I use
$filename = "c:\\temp\some&longfilename", qx still don't want to
work, saying that it can't find "some&l~1" - apparently not liking
the "&" in the name.
How do I work around both of these? Thanx for any help.
-Tai
