Is there a way to work with "&" in file names in J? f2 is a copy of
f1, and Excel is happy with both files.
Interestingly,
dir,f1
b:/TopLevelDirectory/_Word1 & Word2/Bill
Harris/j602-user/projects/taraxmltest/txtest01.xlsx
IOW, the directory has an "&", and that's okay. It's just when it's
in the file name that it fails. (I did try putting spaces around the
"&" in the file name, but it didn't help.)
My real goal is to read another file that has an "&" in the file name
using taraxml, but I figure the same mechanism gives fexist and
readxlxsheets difficulty.
