Delete extra . in filename on a OpenVMS system

  • 772

I've downloaded, with ftp, a file which contains too many .s for a OpenVMS system. 

swing-layout-1^.0.jar

How can I remove the extra dot?

    I have solved it:

    set process/parse_style=extended

    Native OpenVMS uses the dots to delimit the file name, type and version numbers. The first dot in this case has '^' preceding it to indicate that it is just part of the name, is not the end of the name and start of the type (which is jar).

    • Name: swing-layout-1.0
    • Type: jar
    • Version: (not specified)

    The parse_style=extended allows this to work with a file from another realm where the dot has no special meaning to the file system.
