Deleting case sensitive xml file

[Alice Hampton]

I want to delete my xml file so I can rename my temp one to the name of the original however it only deletes it if I place the filename all in lowercase letters. The file name as it stands uses a mixture of upper and lowercase but won't delete as a result. Is there a way round this?

Alice,
If you are using Mac/Linux/UNIX, file names are case sensitive. You'll need to find out the exact file name to do the delete. You might know it in which case, you can code it. If not, you can write code that looks at the filenames in the directory and finds the one having a toLowerCase() name matching what you are looking for.

On the other hand if you're using Windows, then what you describe is a feature of Windows which applies to all files, not just XML files. That's assuming that you are using Windows Explorer or the command line to rename the file -- you didn't say how you were trying to do the rename. If my two guesses are right then the way to get around that is to rename the file to something completely different and then rename it back to what you really wanted. But in future it would help if you explained your problem in a little more detail.
