No extension and comma

[hellomike]

Hi,

It seems that BBCSDL can't or has an issue accessing a file which name has no extension and a comma in it.
The following code works in BB4W but signals "File not found" in BBCSDL (on Windows10).

Code: Select all

      F$="C:/PLtitels,fff."
      F%=OPENINF$
      IF F% THEN
        CLOSE#F%
      ELSE
        PRINT "File '" F$ "' not found!"
      ENDIF
      END

I can't find anything about it in the "Differences between BB4W and BBCSDL" page.

Thanks

Mike

What happens if you leave out the trailing dot?

Also, is there a difference in treatment if you have dots in folder names, eg

C:\Test\This and.that\Or the . other\some file

(which windows should support ok, but SDL might not).

The new Windows 'installer' release (which reports as 1.36c) will accept commas in filenames, under the same conditions as spaces are accepted.

Code: Select all

>PRINT OPENIN"test,fff."
