I would like to copy some user data but I have problems to copy file with 8.3 name. Example: Source: 706 HIGHLE~4.HTM High Level.html 590 HIGHLE~2.HTM Highlev.html 574 HI9CE4~1.HTM Highlevsales.html 128 highle~1.htm 128 highle~3.htm Destination: 128 HIGHLE~1.HTM High Level.html 590 HIGHLE~2.HTM Highlev.html 574 HIGHLE~4.HTM Highlevsales.html 128 highle~3.htm The file highle~1.htm is missing atfer copying. It's now under the name High Level.html (look at the file size). The problem is the 8.3 name. I tried different copy programs (xcopy,scopy,robocopy). All the copy programs starts to copy from a to z. If the name is not like 8.3 name convention it creates an additional 8.3 name beginning by ~1. The copy programs copies first the High Level.html and creates the 8.3 name HIGHLE~1.HTM. If the copy programs comes then to the real highle~1.htm then it overwrites the existing file with the same sort name. Then it come to the point that the old file highle~1.htm has now the name 'HIGHLE~4.HTM High Level.html'. What can I do to resolve the problem? _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activeperl
