filesystem - smb - subdirectories that have names containing blanks

Post by rodger.spring »

Base Url
file://nappgse01.bns.bns/EOOther/Lib/Common_brl/Shared/

A subdirectory
file://nappgse01.bns.bns/EOOther/Lib/Common_brl/Shared/Library Services

What I have done in order to gather documents for the subdirectory is change the Base Url to also include the subdirectory with the modification of replacing the space with %20 otherwise the directory name is truncated at the space

Base Url
file://nappgse01.bns.bns/EOOther/Lib/Common_brl/Shared/
file://nappgse01.bns.bns/EOOther/Lib/Common_brl/Shared/Library%20Services

How do I get the spider to pick up the full name of the subdirectory automatically?

That should just work. Discovered directories will be automatically url escaped. What happens when you don't add the 2nd base url?

Use Profile tools List/Edit urls to lookup file://nappgse01.bns.bns/EOOther/Lib/Common_brl/Shared/ and find out what it's children links are. You should find Library%20Services listed with the %20.

Curious now it seems to be working fine.

This morning if I used just the single Base Url statement then none of the subdirectories with spaces in their names would be included in the results.

Sorry for troubling you.
