Hello! I'm quite new to macperl, and I'm stumbling on a platform issue. I want to scan a folder and open every file in it. I get the list OK, but some of the files in the folder have names like: <untitled> > hello < about this and of course, macperl thinks it's perl syntax (ie that I mean to > to 'hello', and not open the file '> hello'................ :( does anyone know how to quote the filename so that macperl doesn't interpret the > or < ? here is the code snippet: #!perl chdir ":work:"; while ($filename = <*>) { unless(open(INPUTFILE,$filename)) { die "arrrgle unable to open $filename $!\n";}; print "$filename\n"; close(INPUTFILE); } thanks !
