Include a Forward Slash (/) in File Name

amitnkukanur — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:01:27 GMT

Hello,

I am doing customization for Vault professional 2013 and using C#.net (VS 2010) as Development Language.As per customer requirement they need a file naming system in Vault is respective folders.

As per customer requirement they need to include a forward slash i.e. / in the file names.

I tried to rename it manually, my problem is it possible to rename using coding to include such special characters in file names.

No it is not possible to include invalid characters in a file name. If it were allowed, you would not be able to store the file on a windows filesystem.

Instead of using a slash ("/"), you could use a fraction slash ("⁄") or a division slash ("⁄") which are usually indistinguishable (to the human eye, at least), especially when not next to a common slash. Here's an example in WIndows:

and the same file in Vault:

I created the above slash by holding the Alt key and entering 8260 on the numeric keypad.

It's an odd solution. But then again, the client request seems equally odd.

There is something called fraction symbol, Please see this link https://www.alt-codes.net/fraction-symbols

You can copy required fraction symbol and paste it in your file, it works well.

Have it a go!
