Any ideas how to test for the existance of a file, when the file name
contains extended ascii characters
For example if the file contains emdash (U-2014) file -e always
returns false
-e should not be looking at the filename directly. it checks if the file
exists in the directory. post some actual code you use to test this.
possibly you are missing the directory in the path. if you are using
readdir or similar, it only gives you the file name. if you use that
value with -e it will fail as the directory path isn't being passed to -e.
