Hi Robert,
Thank you for the quick answer, but I tried both dragging and dropping from
Explorer and "p4 add _?l?ment_supprim?.htm" from the command line (I'm working
on an NT Workstation). As far as I remember you're doing consulting for
Perforce customers. (I've been lurking since 3 months to the perforce mailing
list and noticed your name quite a few times;-) Have you seen any Perforce
users working around this problem? I am thinking of a batch file or a bash
script for converting special characters into regular ones when cheking in and
back when checking out or something similar.
I don't know where you are, but I suppose it's in some 7-bit locale... for
me, in Norway, ? is a printable character. Maybe the difference is enough
to fool perforce.
If you need that letter in file names, I'd suggest running p4 and p4d
under a locale such as French. Maybe that'll help. It'll still leave you
high and dry wrt. many other letters, such as c with caron (the little
thing under the c you see in many Czech names). But it may help with the
western European ones.
