Re: [ARSCLIST] Underscore in file names



While I use both the underscore and the spacebar, for deliverable files, especially if some of them are MP3 files.

The reason for that is when a Web browser sees a space, it often becomes "%20" which is the hex representation of the space character (ASCII 32). It looks messy and confuses people, I think.

Other than that, I don't know of a reason, but space has been a delimiter in older operating systems (OSs), but I don't think any current OS cares (Windows? Linux? Mac/Linux?)

Cheers,

Richard

For those of you using computer files for archiving, do you use space bar spaces in your file names or underscores? Is there a reason to avoid space bar spaces in file names?
