CGI upload problem on IE
Hi, I'm trying to write a CGI using perl for uploading multiple files, here's my part of codes. == my @fax_files = map(symlink($query-tmpFileName($_), /tmp/fax_$_) ? /tmp/fax_$_ : (), $query-upload(files)); === I guess on IE, the browser returns back the whole path including C:\Documents and Settingetc. However, the space breaks the list of filename that's in /tmp/fax_$_ It is working in Firefox and what I see in Firefox is the path C:\Documents and Setting... etc has been removed and only the filename back to the server. That's my guess. See if any experienced guy can tell me how I should handle this in IE actually. Thanks a lot, CHAN -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Re: CGI upload problem on IE
Hi, My workaround in Windows to the space in file names (which the *nix don't allow) are the following: (1) Use an underscore instead of space in file names (2) Surround the file name with quotes if spaces are retained (3) Use the hex representation of space (%20) in file names HTH, alfred, Yw Chan ( Cai Lun e-Business ) wrote: Hi, I'm trying to write a CGI using perl for uploading multiple files, here's my part of codes. == my @fax_files = map(symlink($query-tmpFileName($_), /tmp/fax_$_) ? /tmp/fax_$_ : (), $query-upload(files)); === I guess on IE, the browser returns back the whole path including C:\Documents and Settingetc. However, the space breaks the list of filename that's in /tmp/fax_$_ It is working in Firefox and what I see in Firefox is the path C:\Documents and Setting... etc has been removed and only the filename back to the server.

Re: CGI upload problem on IE
Unix allows spaces in file names. Agree. But for a Unix-centric person like me operating in an otherwise all Windows environment, I've found that the use of space in Windows filenames is more liberal than in Unix in so far as the use of commands go. So for anyone starting with Windows and heading in the Unix direction, the advice would be to avoid the use of space in the file names. After all the web is deeply rooted in the Unix culture. alfred, -- Perl - ... making the easy jobs easy, without making the hard jobs impossible.

Problem assigning with File::Find
Greetings all -
I am having some problems understanding an issue of assignment within a
closure (I think its a closure). My code is below. I've added the line
numbers for reference. Note that this is an excerpt from a module.
'$hr_self' is a blessed hash ref to the module. 'FindDGLibDir' is called
with: $hr_self-FindDGLibDir();
1 sub FindDGLibDir
2 {
3 # Modules to use
4 use File::Find;
5 use Cwd;
6
7 my ($hr_self) = @_;
8
9 my $process_file = sub
10 {
11 # Exit the process if we have the directory already
12 return if $hr_self-{dglib_dir} ne '';
13 # This is a directory and the name ends in 'dglib'
14 if (-d m/dglib$/){$hr_self-{dglib_dir} = $File::Find::name;}
15 };
16
17 # Get the root to cgi-bin
18 cwd =~ m'(.*\/cgi-bin)';
19 # Search cgi-bin looking for dglib and return any errors
20 find(\$process_file, $1);
21 return 0 if $hr_self-{dglib_dir} eq '';
22
23 return 1;
24 } # end FindDGLibDir
'$hr_self-{dglib_dir}' at line 14 cannot be assigned to. If I substitute
'my $string' there, it works fine. '$hr_self-{dglib_dir}' is obviously a
valid var since it is used successfully in line 12. Can anyone tell me why
there is trouble in line 14?
Thanks
Ron

Re: CGI upload problem on IE
However, the situation is that ehe spaces not from my filename but from the Windows XP default of C:\Documents and Settings\Default user\. etc. I guess in an overwhelming web-based environment using Windows at the browser side, most people would come across this issue. I'm wondering if there is something else would make IE returns the path just liked Firefox that has no problem at all.

The backslashes are legal filename chars in Unix, but if you don't want them, just strip them off. $filename =~ s/.*[\\\/]//; You should check whatever's left against the set of characters you want to allow. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response
