File Naming
Conventions
The file system is a flat file system which means directories are not
supported. Files are uniquely identified by a file name in the following
format:
filename.ext
where:
ˆ filename is a descriptive name for the file, and may be one to sixteen
characters in length. Valid characters are lowercase letters (a–z),
uppercase letters (A–Z), digits (0–9), and the following characters: ~ ’
@ # $ % ^ & ( ) _ - { }+. Invalid characters are: ! * = “| \ [ ] ; : ? / , < >.
ˆ ext is a file name extension of three characters in length, preceded by
a period (.). The extension is used by the switch to determine the file
type.
The following is an example of a valid file name for a configuration file:
standardconfig.cfg
The following is an example of an invalid file name:
sys/head_o.cfg
The backslash character (/) is not a valid character because subdirectories
are not supported.
The file system displays filenames and directories in DOS 28.3 format.
Filenames and directories longer than 32 bytes are represented in DOS
8.3 format.
Using Wildcards to Specify Groups of Files
You can use the asterisk character (*) as a wildcard character in some
fields to identify groups of files. In addition, a wildcard can be combined
with other characters. The following are examples of valid wildcard
expressions:
*.cfg
*.key
28*.cfg
