This all reminds me of a file naming problem I had with Windows. If a Mac copies files with illegal characters to a Windows share (illegal to Windows that is) Windows will happily accept and copy the files, complete with bad characters, then later inform you that it cannot find the file you are

Good one Mike. Now I have to find out how to detect and filter the damn things. The list of songs on the right comes from some very old CD and DAT labeling stacks that were saved as RTF. What's happening is that I'm transferring all my DAT tapes to a hard drive archive, but all I get are files n

Thanks for responding, Scott. I will check the stack again. It's about as simple as I can make it. If files weren't created, then obviously nothing else will happen. For the demonstration to work a group of files must be created with the names that are in the left hand column. These files are re

Hi Gang. This one has me baffled. Head against desk for a while. please load my test stack with go stack URL "http://fulton.barncard.com/bugz/multilineRenameBug.rev"; (It only creates suffixed files in a folder that you create or point to after clicking a button.) I am renaming files like thi
