Has anyone run into trouble while attempting to rename a file which has a leading space? I am receiving an error from Visual FoxPro that the file does not exist. I tried:

lcPath = sys(5) + curdir()
gnCount = adir(gaTifs, '*.tif')
for nCounter = 1 to gnCount
cOldName = lcPath + gaTifs(nCounter,1)
cNewName = lcPath + substr(gaTifs(nCounter,1)3,6)
rename &cOldName to &cNewName
endfor

If we manually take out the leading spaces it works... Otherwise we get the file does not exist error.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Maria
