Hi,

I have the following in a perl data structure.

TRG_FILE => "\\\\CDCTS09\\MYDIR\\DROPBOXES\\receive_from\\$$xml_params{FileName}",

When the same is resolved.. i'm getting a Cntrl+M char getting replace for '\receive_from'. i.e for the slash-r.

Please could anyone hlp to resolve this. The OS is Unix.

thanks
dj

The obvious question is why use backslashes when you could use forward slashes?
Windoze tends to cope with them fine and it makes the code soooo much easier to deal with.

I think the first question is why are you using windows? All Unix and Linux distributions that I have seen have the bash shell. The bash shell makes perl so much easier, and it's a good idea in general to be using Linux/Unix.

Actuall the datastructure I've mentioned is used to generate a WINDOWS bat file. Thats the reason why you see windows style !

Any hlp to my problem ?

how about...

my $path = "//CDCTS09/MYDIR/DROPBOXES/receive_from/$$xml_params{FileName}";

$path =~ s/\//\\/g;

TRG_FILE => $path;
