This script will get the values from an INI-file or by computing it during an user creating process. Maybe there is the possibility to use a regex - but I didn't get the dollar sign out of the path. Thanks, Tim Try server\\new\$ In perl you escape meta-characters with backslashes. Not much fun when you discover that Win32 just loves backslashes! jpt -Original Message- From: Tim Straub [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 7:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: (no subject) Hi list, is there any way to open a hidden UNC path with the mkdir statement given by a parameter. Let's say I run the script with the parameter \\server\new$ the path will get truncated one time by the newline '\n' and the dollar sign will by cut off. Then putting it in the variable $x the statement mkdir( $x, 0777 ); will fail! I would like to use the script as a subroutine which will get the path - this have to be done as \\server\\share\new_directory. So it is not possible to use an other syntax! Any suggestions???

Well, if you're reading the string from a file, then you won't have the problems with the $ or the \n being recognized as escape characters. I guess I don't understand what your problem is. Have you actually run code that reads from an INI file? Did it still produce the behavior you described -- a carriage return in the string and the dollar sign missing? If so, are you doing some sort of eval on that string? If you are, then you'll need to escape the backslashes and dollar signs yourself before doing the eval. If not, you shouldn't be experiencing a problem. If you are able to provide the code in question, that would make it much easier to help you. jpt ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
