Opening files, ending with dot (.)

Post by evil »

Me again...

I am having problems, opening files, which end with a dot (.)

Creating a simple text file for example and saving it to "ram:test." cannot be opened with OpenFile()

Other functios have the same problem.

CopyFile() zip.AddFile() also do not work with such files.

Is this a bug? AmigaDOS has no problems copying those files.

Best regards

George

Right, I can confirm this. Will be fixed but note that on Windows files cannot end in a dot so it might not be the best idea to use those files if you care about portability.
