Downloading Files from Web and Associated Filenames
Hi
I am writing a utility to autoformat a number of files downloaded form banks and financial systems (from an IE browser to Excel 2000 on Windows XP). There is one bank which offers the opportunity to download an Excel file but when the file is opened automatically in the Windows temp directory, there is a mismatch between the displayed name in the Excel application window header and the "internal" filename. The filename in the Window displays: "transactionsummary[1].xls" The internal name of the file is: "transactionsummary 1 .xls" Can someone explain what is going on, please? The wider issue for me is that these particular files cannot have readwrite status reset, but not being able to trap the files properly by name is unsatisfactory. (most other files with a displayed name including "[" can be trapped using a search for the square bracket. Any help most welcome. Thanks Tim |
