So I have a text file with a name containing spaces which causes an otherwise perfectly functional script to barf with this error: # Can't open temporary file Mawenzi:Analysis:test:Ce103.Lzr103.Sun, Sep 8, 1996: Bad address Mawenzi:Analysis:test:Ce103.Lzr103.Sun, Sep 8, 1996 Presumably there is a trick in MacPerl for dealing with such filenames; anyone have a suggestion?
