Directory Browser match on file name with spaces

I have a file called “File With Spaces.csv” and am trying to create a GLOB pattern to match it in a Director Browser. What should work does not work and what does work is not optimal in my opinion....

Try enabling expressions by clicking the “=” button and entering the name of the file within quotes: “File With Spaces.csv”.

That should do the trick.

    Hi Rakesh,

    “File With Spaces.csv” does not work either, but using “File%20With%20Spaces.csv” does the trick.

    File???With???Spaces.csv also does the trick (as quoted expression or not), so it is clear now that it has to do with the encoding from the sftp server.
