You might try:
system("secondapp $switches \"$filelist[$i]\"")
which should make the second argument the filename regardless of whether
it has spaces or not.
Wags ;)
I am having hell with blanks in file and
directory names. I have an application that gets a list of files (using
opendir/readdir) then runs a second perl application (perlapp
binary) on them, one by one. So the absolute path/filename from the list
is passed to the second app as an argument, as in system("secondapp $switches
$filelist[$i]")
This works great unless there are blanks embedded
in $filelist[$i]. In that case, when secondapp
runs, $ARGV[1] is truncated at the first blank so obviously it can't
open the file. Do I have to escape the blanks in @filelist before
starting these calls?
