Re: Version control system for the laziest of the lazy

in reply to Version control system for the laziest of the lazy

First thing I tried was:

C:\chas_sandbox\PM>bak.pl *.pl
Copy failed: No such file or directory at C:\chas_sandbox\PM\bak.pl li
+ne 34.

How about glob?

for my $file (@ARGV) {
    for my $globfile (glob($file)) {
        copy($globfile, "backup/${globfile}_$date") or die "Copy faile
+d: $!";
    }
}
[download]

now I get:

C:\chas_sandbox\PM>bak.pl  *.pl

C:\chas_sandbox\PM>

#my sig used to say 'I humbly seek wisdom. '. Now it says:
use strict;
use warnings;
I humbly seek wisdom.

Let me recommend `bsd_glob` from File::Glob. It understands and properly treats whitespace in path and filenames, something that plain Perl glob does not (unless you start quoting things).	[reply] [d/l]

Excellent. This seems to make up for one of the many shortcomings of the MS-DOS shell.	[reply]
