SMB path with a + sign not able to write to location

[doug_fossler]

I am attempting to write to an SMB path that includes a plus symbol and no matter how I attempt to alter the path it fails to write the file.

‘smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx/dir1/dir_2/dir_3/dir_4/A+A/dir_5/filename.csv’

I have attempted to put %2B instead of the + symbol, a parameter that is only +, a parameter that was A+A, using double quotes around the entire path with ‘%2B’ instead of +, using double quotes around the entire path with ‘+’ instead of just +, using \+, using \%2B, and a bunch of other variations.

What is the correct syntax and why is this not in the documentation anywhere?

As the name would suggest, these boards are more of a community forum, not product support. If you’re expecting timely responses or dedicated support resources, then probably best to contact SnapLogic support and your TAM if necessary.

@christwr, I understand that, but I don’t know 100% that I have the syntax right because your existing documentation online does not cover it specifically. So how would I know if it is a technical issue (bug) or if I am just using the wrong syntax?

Trust me, I am not expecting timely responses on here, but i would expect that if an employee responds it would not be to let me chase my tail.

@doug.fossler , could you please try again replacing + with a space or %20
Let me know if that works.
Thanks.

Jayakrishnan,

Depending on if the expression toggle is set or not, a space or %20 work fine, that is not my issue. I am attempting to write a plus symbol (+) in the file path.

Thanks,

@doug.fossler , let me know the directory name. Is it ‘A+A’ or is it ‘A A’ ? If the directory name is ‘A+A’ then there might be some bug in the SnapLogic snap. But if its ‘A A’ , i think a uri path space is to be encoded as %20 instead of +. Some systems like a browser can resolve + back to a space but some cannot. Maybe that’s the reason why you are getting an error message like “The system cannot find the path specified.”
