SImplify 0 Posted December 13, 2004 Hi all, I have problem with folder and filename where are + character. F.e. HT121_M_(50+50 DF).vd2 I have script where I use fileopendialog to select many files. Then I go through file by file to open those in other program. Everything went well until there were + character in file name. I debug my code and realize that variables value where right just before typing the filename. F.e. msgbox(0,"0",$file_to_open) ControlSend("Select a file to import machines from","","Edit1",$file_to_open) In msgbox the filename are:HT121_M_(50+50 DF).vd2 But when typing in Edit1 textfield it's: HT121_M_(50%0 DF).vd2 Anyway, easy solution (maybe not easiest) is to change filenames, but in this case that's not the best wayt to do this, cause I need to keep those original names. Anyone has idea? Cheers Simplify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ezzetabi 3 Posted December 13, 2004 (edited) I made a small test with a Run('+') after renaming a program to '+.exe'. And I had no problems, can we see some code? Otherwise you can roll a number to find a unusu need ed temp filename and saving the original name in a variant, rename, do what you need and rename to the old name....

sugi 0 Posted December 14, 2004 Guess you haven't read about the parameters for ControlSend, have you? Note the one that's called "flag". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
