[PERL] Cannot stat or move filename - £££F3AERO££.txt
Scenario: Users drop files into a directory which is regularly polled by my PERL process. On detecting a file my process will move it from the poll dir to a working directory. A user created a file with a £ symbol in the filename and my process now fails.
e.g £££F3AERO££.txt
/sbcimp/run/pd/perl/32-bit/5.8.8/bin
I can handle most badly formed filenames but the £ has flumoxed me. Any suggestions . Thanks P.S I have messed around with encode/decode utf8 but no luck. The file does exist and I do have permission. Ta.
i tried to use stat to get the attributes of a file and a soft link. but the result i got from stat and lstat are the same.
say:
ln -s f1 soft1 (soft is a soft link , point to f1)
if i use > ls -il
shows the inode and modify time of soft1 and f1 are different.
but the modify... (1 Reply)

telldir
DIRECTORY(3) Library Functions Manual DIRECTORY(3)NAME
opendir, readdir, telldir, seekdir, rewinddir, closedir - directory operations
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/dir.h>
DIR *opendir(filename)
char *filename;
struct direct *readdir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
long telldir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
seekdir(dirp, loc)
DIR *dirp;
long loc;
rewinddir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
closedir(dirp)
DIR *dirp;
DESCRIPTION
Opendir opens the directory named by filename and associates a directory stream with it. Opendir returns a pointer to be used to identify
the directory stream in subsequent operations. The pointer NULL is returned if filename cannot be accessed, or if it cannot malloc(3)
enough memory to hold the whole thing.
Readdir returns a pointer to the next directory entry. It returns NULL upon reaching the end of the directory or detecting an invalid
seekdir operation.
Telldir returns the current location associated with the named directory stream.
Seekdir sets the position of the next readdir operation on the directory stream. The new position reverts to the one associated with the
directory stream when the telldir operation was performed. Values returned by telldir are good only for the lifetime of the DIR pointer
from which they are derived. If the directory is closed and then reopened, the telldir value may be invalidated due to undetected direc-
tory compaction. It is safe to use a previous telldir value immediately after a call to opendir and before any calls to readdir.
Rewinddir resets the position of the named directory stream to the beginning of the directory.
Closedir closes the named directory stream and frees the structure associated with the DIR pointer.
Sample code which searchs a directory for entry ``name'' is:
len = strlen(name);
dirp = opendir(".");
for (dp = readdir(dirp); dp != NULL; dp = readdir(dirp))
if (dp->d_namlen == len && !strcmp(dp->d_name, name)) {
closedir(dirp);
return FOUND;
}
closedir(dirp);
return NOT_FOUND;
