Hi, I am working on a webform/cgiscript that will allow the user to select one or more host from a list and to perform various (selected) actions (dir, putting a pause.txt file, deleting a pause.txt, reading a pause.txt..) One of the user inputs will be the path on the desired machine (hosts), i.e. \\dir1\dir2\dir3\ I can't use the "filefield" type since I am looking for a path and it's not on the local machine. I won't be connecting to the machine(s) in question until the "execute" button is pushed. Once they "execute" the script loops thorough the machines , makes a connection and does the desired "action" my question? is there an easy way to handle this? to use this in my script I will need to insert extra \ to escape the actual \ in the path. Will I have to parse the input and use a regex to do this? Or is there an easier way? I'm using CGI.pm, IIS, NT4.0 TIA, Martha Martha J.
