Folks, I have a huge number of access databases the include the '{' character. FME is clearly trying to treat this as a wild card character instead of a part of the file name. Is there a way to get FME to READ them as names not wild cards from the reader?

 

Otherwise im going to have to bulk rename a lot of files...

thanks.

Try using three double quotation marks around the filename, e.g.

"""C:\Temp\{123}.txt"""
