If you can send me the third-step files I'll try testing here.
I tried Jack's idea again (see attached, it's a bit long),
the
problem remains that the long string "v" holding all the string
names cannot be printed. I found that 'printf "%s",v' does not work
but 'print v' does... That is the reason why the 'join @cmd' does
not hold the variable names.
Hmm, this is quite odd. There's no such problem on Linux but I tried
testing on Windows and I now see what you mean. There seems to be a
string-length problem with [s]printf on Windows; I'll investigate.
In the meantime there's a workaround: the script executes OK if you
piece together the command for "join" like this:
cmd = sprintf("%s ", fname)
cmd ~= v
cmd ~= sprintf("--ikey=%s --okey=%s", in_key, out_key)
