File names in the Windows file system are not case sensitive; in Linux they are. In Linux you can actually have two different files called test.txt and TEST.TXT: [EMAIL PROTECTED] py]$ cat > test.txt this is a test [EMAIL PROTECTED] py]$ cat > TEST.TXT THIS IS ANOTHER TEST [EMAIL PROTECTED] py]$ cat test.txt this is a test [EMAIL PROTECTED] py]$ cat TEST.TXT THIS IS ANOTHER TEST Probably the best solution is to get used to it :-) but you could check for other files in the dir whose name matches ignoring case and open that file if there is a unique match.
