# Spaces are present before and after the XXX
filename = ' XXX '
new_filename = filename.strip()

print filename
Macs allow these spaces in file and folder names. Which is OK. The
problem arises when the file or folder is copied to a PC running Windows
from a Mac. Windows allows the Mac to copy the file to it, but when
Windows itself attempts to do anything with the file it strips the
spaces and then tries to move it, copy it, etc and complains that the
file isn't there!
I can rectify this by striping the spaces from the files and folders on
the Mac before they are copied to the PC or mounting the Windows share
from the Mac and running a recursive strip program I wrote, but Windows
will not allow the whitespace removal directly from within Windows....
how annoying!
For example... tell windows to move a file named ' XXX ' (one space
before and one space after the filename). Windows will complain that
file 'XXX' does not exist. It's correct of course, 'XXX' does not exist,
but ' XXX ' does indeed exist.
Can anyone rescue me from this madness :(

How about not naming files with leading and trailing spaces on

Users will be users! Tell that to the guys and gals on Macs who like to
make a folder sort based on the number of spaces they've placed in the
front of the filenames :)

Sounds like you should change leading/trailing spaces to something
like underlines instead of stripping them off the filename. That way
you preserve the character positions, visually the filenames are very
close. Problem is that underlines sort to bottom instead of to the
top of a list of files.
On second thought, if you replace spaces with dashes they will sort
correctly, but they will look odd.
Pick your poison.

I stand corrected if you put double quotes around filenames
it does work. That to me means that single quotes
in filenames are somehow "different" than other characters.
You must handle these filenames differently (at least from
the command line). Thanks for pointing this out.

I understand you completely, but its a problem for the Mac users because
their company needs to do something with their files that is making it
hard. I see no difference than if some user chose to use some obscure
spreadsheet or wordprocessing program that works extremely well for them
but is completely incompatible with all other users in the organization.
Why is it their problem? Because it makes it difficult for others to
work with their data. I don't believe for a minute you would tell them
"It is ok to keep using your wordprocessing software, if we can't read
the files that's our problem, we will write something to convert them
to a more usable format. It will only take about 500/1000/2000 hours
to fix for you Mr. _user_."
Funny how we got here. I just made a suggestion as to how the user can
make the problem go away altogether and my suggestion that it was a bad
habit did have a smiley ;-) as you will note.

Sure, no problem. FYI, the quotes are to keep my shell, which happens
to be bash, from trying to interpret the quote. If I were renaming a
file by clicking the icon in a Windows-like GUI, or using a file
manager, there would be no need for the quote. dr******@gmail.com wrote: For example... tell windows to move a file named ' XXX ' (one space

Use double-quotes on Windows, not single-quotes. Single-quotes are taken
as just another filename character.

Does the rename work if try with other names? Maybe the problem is not
the whitespace; maybe Windows can't rename the folder because some
process, possibly your program, has an open handle to a file or
directory under your folder? Unix-systems are able to handle that
easily, but Windows doesn't.

Yes, the script can rename files that have no end whitespace. Also, I

the cmd prompt using quotes like this:

And although you can't put leading spaces in file names using
Windows explorer, you don't have to use command line rename.
I modified your program to also put leading spaces back in.
It works fine also. See sample run at end of code.

Right. I've found that it's not just the end spaces. The Macs somehow
copy these files and folders to the PCs without a security descriptor of
any type! When I goto the folder's properties, I see three tabs:
1. General
2. Web Sharing
3. Customize
They lack the 'Sharing' and 'Security' tabs. The filesystem is NTFS.
This explains a lot, but I'm still at a loss on how to fix it. It's also
getting too off-topic for this list, so I'll leave you guys alone. I'll
work it out somehow.

Just for those who don't know, in general *nix operating systems (and the
various *nix file systems) disallow only '\0' and '/' in filenames. The '/'
because obviously is the path separator, and '\0' because it's the
end-of-string marker in C.
When Larry said "Linux", he actually meant the shell he uses.
