In this case, it's my own files I'm dealing with, and I've always stuck to very basic filenames for reasons of compatibility. Most files from cameras and audio recorders follow the same rules (only punctuation being hyphen, underscore, period, and the stupid blank space, with filenames being moderately short). Outside of typing in word processors, I can't say that I've seen anything turn hypens into another character. Generally, what you type on a QWERTY keyboard is from ye olde ascee charset repertoire. Mac's (and some other OSs) would let you type characters into filenames that shouldn't be used (colons, quotes, slashes, backslashes, asterisks), but often transliterate them into something else in a one- way direction. Your file would be usable, but not named the way you'd typed it, ever. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
