Thanks Scott. I am having trouble copying artifacts from another job
using $COPYARTIFACT_BUILD_NUMBER. The job in question has a dot and
hyphens in the name (ie MY-PROJECT-1.0)  The documentation says that
anything not a letter is replaced with "_" (ie
projectName.toUpperCase().replaceAll("[^A-Z]+", "_")) but I am finding
on this job, it does not work.
So $COPYARTIFACT_BUILD_NUMBER_MY_PROJECT_ should be the string used
but it is not working. I have tried a number of combinations as well.
I thought I remembered reading somewhere that using a dot in a job
name is not recommended but I cannot find anything in the docs or
elsewhere to prove that.
