Re: Script-only-stack file issue 9.0.1
If you're on windows, there is no case-sensitivity, so when using git, for example, there are issues with "file" and "FILE" because they're the same to windows. Then there are the names thou shalt never use (con, prn, aux, nul, com1, com2, com3, com4, com5, com6, com7, com8, com9, com0, lpt1, lpt2, lpt3, lpt3, lpt4, lpt5, lpt6, lpt7, lpt8, lpt9, lpt0 and others). So it's not just so-called special characters that can be a problem.

That's it. Pretty much anything else in a filename causes problems with some system or another. and mixed case is a problem itself with some older ones, such as CP/M, which would *usually* covert to upper case (but if a file was created from a program, such as MSBASIC, that check could be passed, and a filename that couldn't be accessed from the command line could be created). -- Dr. Richard E.

Re: Script-only-stack file issue 9.0.1
Unfortunately, the tao of lc isn't documented everywhere, and things that work on one os don't work on another, see "All the filenames that work on every platform but not on Windows". There seems to be another issue with single-quotes in paths, even though LC specifically substitutes them into paths in some circumstances. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Script-only-stack file issue 9.0.1
I know you know, but it bears repeating, you can never go wrong following that old IT adage, no special characters in a filename, no spaces or caps in a SQL column name. In fact I don't even like spaces in a filename because if at some point I want to share it over FTP, and the FTP server has a web service, well now I have to account for spaces.

Re: Script-only-stack file issue 9.0.1
NM. This is related to having double-quotes in a foldername.
