After another support incident that eventually transpired to be down to the user using what I will call stupid characters in their filenames (we include a section on not doing this in our mandatory training so no excuse) I have been musing on using the policy engine to periodically produce lists of files that have stupid characters in their filenames so we can proactively educate the users and get them to rename their files to something sensible :-)
The issue is of course the stupid characters include all the regular expression wildcard characters in addition to \n, \r and backticks. I am coming up short on escaping them correctly in REGEX() for the policy engine.
The documentation appears to be devoid of help on the subject, because of course only an fool would be including these characters in their filenames...
Anyone any idea on how to do this? JAB. -- Jonathan A. Buzzard Tel: +44141-5483420 HPC System Administrator, ARCHIE-WeSt. University of Strathclyde, John Anderson Building, Glasgow.
