TC 7 Public Beta 2 allows illegal chars in folder/file names
I can create a folder called "||||myfolder" which cannot be accessed by TC7, TC6 or Windows Explorer. TC6 and Windows Explorer will not allow me to create folders (files?) containing illegal characters. I assume the same will be true for files as well but I really don't need a bunch of inacceesible files and folders laying around on my drives so I haven't tested it > I wonder how I am going to get rid of these folders? I hate the absolute disk editor... actually I am scared of it.

Not confirmed!
When trying to create |myfolder, I'm told that it already exists (|) and then myfolder (without the |) is created.

| makes 3 folders at the same level
\ makes one folder branch
But this is different.Not only | can be used for this, but also / and \. E.g. "a\b\c", "a/b/c".

You may use a special syntax of "del" command. Have a look here, please:evanscott wrote: I wonder how I am going to get rid of these folders?

I still wonder what sign he used, because the pipe symbol "|" is indeed reserved to create multiple directories at the same level...
