Filenames cannot have slashes in them. If you think that your file has one, then you are wrong. Very likely you think that it does because Finder or other GUI apps are showing it to you that way. This is a lie. A file which they display as having a / actually has a :, and the character has been swapped dynamically. The slash is reserved as the path separator and cannot be used as part of a filename. So try using : instead. > If not possible is there any other way to write to such a file. > I can't use open(), as the file name could contain chars from other > language. This does not make sense. *Everything* uses open() in the end. It handles other languages just fine as long as you use the correct encoding, which on Mac OS X is UTF-8.
