That's not the problem - he's only changing the first \.
His regex does need the g but he said he was getting output of
C:/path/with\new/content. All slashes fixed except the one before n.
Carter are u sure u stated ur problem right? With the regex u
posted ur
output would be C:/path\with\new\content. How do u know the \n is
becoming
a newline? If perl were interpreting it that way then ur output
would look
like
C:/path/with
ew/content
The n would be gone and replaced with a linebreak. If that is indeed
happening then the source of it would be however u are getting that
line of
data into ur script. Not anything u do to it later.
The problem is his RE is:
$root =~ s/\\/\//;
and should be:
$root =~ s/\\/\//g;
Yes, you are correct. The line is printed at one point and I can
clearly see that
the line is C:/path/with\new/content, but when using this later it
magically gets
interpreted as a newline.
Thanks to you and $Bill for the assistance. Fortunately, it appears
that I merely
needed a 'g' to include all backslashes in the path.
Carter.
