Bug ID: 169176
Summary: BASIC: ScriptForge.IsFileName incorrectly rejects
filenames with commas (",") in Windows
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: BASIC
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I'm calling "FSO.GetBaseName(file)" after getting a list of files in a
directory using "filesList = FSO.Files" and "For Each file In filesList". When
it gets to a file with a comma in the filename, it throws an error and exits
the code.
Steps to Reproduce:
In LibreOffice BASIC:
1. First, create a file with a comma (",") in the filename in directory
"DirName"
2. filesList = fs.Files(DirName, "*.*", IncludeSubfolders := False)
3. For Each file In filesList
4. TempName = fs.GetBaseName(file)
5. Next file
Actual Results:
LibreOffice BASIC will throw an error and exit the sub
Expected Results:
This shouldn't throw an error. Commas are allowed in Windows filenames.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Tracked it down to a "Const" in the header of the SF_String module.
I don't anything about Regular Expressions, but I imagine the comma needs to be
removed from:
Const REGEXFILEWIN="^([A-Z]|[a-z]:)?[^<>:;,?""*|]+$"
making it:
Const REGEXFILEWIN="^([A-Z]|[a-z]:)?[^<>:;?""*|]+$"
BTW: I'm new to LibreOffice. I'm also NOT a programmer (just insanely curious
about things), but I do use VBA once in a while.
I would also like to write back filenames with commas, so is there any way I
can fix this myself, instead of waiting for some future release? I mean, I can
see the problem, but I don't know how to access it to fix it!
