    <p>I am trying to copy all files in one location to a different location and am using the <code>File::Copy</code> module and <code>copy</code> command from that, but now the issue I am facing is that I have file whose name has <code>special character</code> whose ascii value is <code>&amp;#253</code> but in unix file system it is stored as <code>?</code> and so my question is that will <code>copy or move command</code> consider this files with special characters while copying or moving to another location or not, if now then what would be an possible work around for this ?</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> I cannot create file with special characters in unix because special characters are replaced with <code>?</code> and I cannot do so in Windows because on Windows Special Characters are replaced with the Encoded value as in my case of <code>&amp;#253</code> ?</p> <pre><code>my $folderpath = 'the_path'; open my $IN, '&lt;', 'path/to/infile'; my $total; while (&lt;$IN&gt;) { chomp; my $size = -s "$folderpath/$_"; print "$_ =&gt; $size\n"; $total += $size; } print "Total =&gt; $total\n"; </code></pre> <p>Courtesy: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/447771/rickf">RickF</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3746552/file-manipulation-scripting-question/3753986#3753986">Answer</a></p> <p>Any suggesion would be highly appreciated. </p> <p><strong>Reference Question</strong> : <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3761218/perl-file-handling-question">Perl File Handling Question</a> </p>

    2. COAre you copying from Unix to Windows? If so, you also need to handle characters that are legal on Unix but not on Windows. At an extreme example, "\n" is a legal character in a Unix file name.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
