Re: Do and Die

Is it possible that your $filename or $localpath could contain a space or othr illeagl character? I think I would try something like:

system('mv', "'$filename'", "'$localpath/archives/'") or Die ("data lo
+ad","YTSMSC","High","Could not move file: $filename for successful ex
+it: $@");

I tried the following to test for spaces and try your suggestion:

print "=$filename==$localpath/archives/=\n";
  system('mv', "'$filename'", "'$localpath/archives/'") or Die ("data 
+load","YTSMSC","High","Could not move file: $filename for succ
essful exit: $@");

Running the code I got complaints from mv, but the or didn't kick in. but the files didn't move, wither. I did an ls with a cut and paste of one of the file names to proven that part is sound.
