Looking for a method to see the full IFS file name
Looking for a method to see the full IFS file name
What I am running into a file names with random number of spaces or unprintable characters at the tail and I would like to see what they are and how many characters exist.
Re: Looking for a method to see the full IFS file name
Usually when this happens it's a mistake so the developer just deletes or renames the file (this can be done by using wildcard to match the unknown portion)
I suppose if you really want to know what the unprintable characters are, you could use the IFS APIs to find out, but.. why?
Re: Looking for a method to see the full IFS file name
the issue I was facing/am facing was with replication of entries from one system to another as well as a developer written purge process that could not delete the entries. They had done a trim on the name retrieved and the spaces were important but then it was found out that they may not all be spaces.
