Vino,

Which is precisely what I intend to do If I can do it. Unfortunately there are several apps that feed into my script and changing the back-end system is not feasible.

Even though I may not be able to change the data content represented in multi-byte character to single, If I can perform the change atleast at the file name level I should be ok.

Please advise. Thanks
