one caveat:
OS X 10.6 and 4D v12
I have not tested on newer systems
I have had problems with very large files (500 meg and over).
Also - beside to "clean" your file names before trying to save them,
this is especially true if your system(s) run ion a mixed platform
environment. Windows can be very picky about file names.
here is some code to 'clean' file names.
(I hope any of the called other utility methods are self explanatory)
//Project Method: utl_File_Cleanup_Filenames
// $1 - text - file NAME (only) to check for bad characters
//looks for, and changes "bad" characters (determined by windows
limits) to a dash ("-")
//RETURNS - text - altered filename
//• Created 6-15- 09 by Chip
//• Updated 1/11/17 by Chip - replaced char 202 with char 160 for
non-breaking space
// difference between ascii and unicode, also check for trailing
period
C_TEXT($1;$Source;$Bad_Characters;$0)
C_TEXT($Replacement_Character)
C_LONGINT($Bad_Char_Count;$i)
$Source:=$1
$Bad_Characters:="!$~[]/:;*?<>|#^'&()"+<>x_Quote+<>x_Cr+<>x_Tab+\
Char(Character code("•"))+Char(92)+Char(160) //char 92 = \ ,
char(160)= 'hard' non breaking space"
$Replacement_Character:="-"
$Bad_Char_Count:=Length($Bad_Characters)
For ($i;1;$Bad_Char_Count)
$Source:=Replace
string($Source;$Bad_Characters[[$i]];$Replacement_Character)
End for
//windows file names can not end with a period
$Source:=utl_text_Strip_Characters ($Source;"R";".") //removes
trailing '.'
$0:=utl_text_Strip_Characters ($Source) //remove leading and trailing
spaces
//end
