Can't access file because it has a quotation mark in it

[MDesigner]

What do I do? I need to access this file from a client.. the quotation mark is an invalid character.. somehow they burned it that way onto the CD. How can I get this file off the CD??

from a command prompt:

copy x:\file?.xxx c:\file.xxx

this way the computer copies the file but when it creates the file on your computer it wont have an illegal character.

Eg. The file is hello?.txt and your CD drive is D:

just type:

cd d:\ [enter]
copy hello?.txt c:\hello.txt [enter]

Wish it were that simple. I've already tried that. I tried using wildcards. It simply does not work. It says the file cannot be copied.

hmmm...

maybe you could create an ISO of the CD, then use ISObuster or something to extract the file from the image

Hmm, that might actually work.. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks!

 

[MDesigner]

YES! Thanks! Created an ISO and used UltraISO to rename the file, then pull it off.
