Using the correct syntax handling this special characters shouldn't be an issue for any application: $ touch \<F1\> File names are allowed to use any sign excepted the /, NUL, * and ? in Linux file names. I don't know any trick to handle the - as first sign for a file name: $ ls -al -rw-r--r-- 1 spinymouse-sudo spinymouse-sudo 5 2010-05-14 11:35 -n E.g. try to run $ cat ;). It might be better not to use the - as first sign. Apart from that I couldn't find information about forbidden signs for Linux file names. If < and > aren't allowed when using Ardour, Ardour should inform about it and ban those signs. IMO this would be a serious issue and should be reported to Ardour devs. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
