i am importing multiple csv files from a folder using infile statement. Some files give me error Physical file not found. When i rename it , it works file.
Example of file name with issue- ab[bmp]c[8_4_203].csv
when i remove square [] brackets it works fine.
Is there a way i can take care of all special characters when reading csv file using infile statement?
A UNIX system interprets angular brackets as part of regular expressions for filename expansion. Having them in UNIX filenames is a VERY BAD idea. Just like having asterisks and question marks
Strong hint: use only characters from the 26-character alphabet, digits, underlines and dots in filenames. Makes life on all operating systems so much simpler.
