About file naming
When working in a station, you often create different types of files, for example, a Px file if adding a new view, if creating a new Chart file, whenever exporting a view to pdf/txt/csv file, or if making a station backup .dist file. In addition, you often create new station file folders, and also copy graphic image files over to the station’s file space.
Regardless of file types, whenever saving files (or before copying files to the station), you restrict all characters in file and folder names to ones in the original set of ASCII characters in the BNF (Backus-Naur Form notation) for framework file paths, namely:
a-z | A-Z | 0–9 | specials
specials= space | . | : | - | _ | $ | + | ( | ) | & | ‘ | ’ | @ | [ | ]
Otherwise,
use of other characters, for example, a tilde ( ~ ) in file or folder names may result in obscure problems, particularly
on controller platforms (QNX-based hosts).
