I thought the correct way to do this in python would be to scan the
dir
files=os.listdir(os.path.dirname( os.path.realpath( __file__ ) ))
then print the filenames
for filename in files:
print filename
but as expected teh filename is not correct - so correct it using the
file sysytems
I created the following filename in windows just as a test -
“Dönåld’s™ Néphêws” deg°.txt
The quotes are non -ascii, many non english characters, long hyphen
etc.
Now in DOS I can do a directory and it translates them all to
something close.
Dönåld'sT Néphêws deg°.txt
