You need a quoting that does not special-case doubled backslashes (like the Q[] I have seen you use), or to enter the path with initial quadruple backslashes. Does changing your one-liner to this: raku -e "say Q[\\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup1].IO.d.Bool;" fix the problem? If not, remove the `.Bool` just for a test run. You might still get False (like if the path exists but is not a directory), or you might get a Exception that gives you more detail of what is going wrong (like `Failed to find ...`, with the exact path that it was *actually* looking for). -- Hope this helps, Bruce Gray (Util of PerlMonks)Thread Previous | Thread Next
