Re: Handling incoming file names that contain embedded spaces

James, I think this would need to be tested and evaluated. I'm not quite sure offhand and also it has to do with the operating system involved. Any details you can provide of your own findings and environment will be helpful. Thanks Joe On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 4:38 PM, James McMahon

Re: Handling incoming file names that contain embedded spaces

Re: Handling incoming file names that contain embedded spaces

James, I suspect there is more to the issue than the spaces. GetFile itself should be fine there. Can you share logs showing what is happening with these files? Can you share some sample filenames that it is struggling with? You can also enable debug logging for that processor which could
