Re: file names start with a number

[Jaison Kurian <jaison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hallo Prasad,
               Just give the path to the file in double quotes like :

 if it is in the pwd, then

 yes? file/grid=xxyytt/var=u/format=stream/swap "./092004_06h_dir.d"

 in general, you can give the full path

 yes? file/grid=xxyytt/var=u/format=stream/swap "/home/data/092004_06h_dir.d"


Hope This Helps

With Regards 

Jaison
