Re: Need to change directory string.

in reply to Need to change directory string.

"..Is there easier way to put this?.."

Another way is to use canonpath method from File::Spec like so:

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Spec qw(canonpath);

my $dir_str = "test/home/players/demo//thumbs/super.jpg";

print File::Spec->canonpath($dir_str);
[download]

Output:
test/home/players/demo/thumbs/super.jpg

NOTE:
No physical check on the filesystem, but a logical cleanup of a path.

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
