I have a CSV file that is downloaded from a source that I cannot edit. The CSV that is exported contains a character ("?") in its file name which results in FME (I'm using 2019.2.3) failing to read the file. Ultimately this workspace will run on FME Server and will access this CSV from an email that it receives.
The filename is FILE_(?)_FILE.csv and this flags an error in FME Desktop (which I expect will be replicated on FME Server) on attempting to load the data into the workspace:
CSV reader: Failed to open file 'C:\\FILE_(?)_FILE.csv' for reading. Please ensure that the file exists and you have sufficient privileges to read it
It looks like FME is incorrectly interpreting the file name string and is obviously then unable to find it.
An obvious solution is to ask the end user to remove the "?" symbol from the file name before running the workspace but this is prone to error and I would much rather handle it in the FME workspace itself. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
