Default "Bad file or number"

vjp2,

Someone in the NT batch newsgroup suggestes:

copy x.csv+nul /a

for which I am most gratefule


Nice, appending an "empty file" and depending on the "/a" switch to have the
copy command append a ctrl-z.

One drawback though : If, for whatever reason whatsoever, the CSV contains a
ctrl-z somewhere in the middle you will throw the remainder of the file
away. In other words: check the size of the result. If it apears to be
shorter than the origional something has gone wrong ...

But now the important question: Did adding that ctrl-z actually solve the
problem ? You did not mention anything about it.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
