Find File(s) Action delivers a list of files with all lower-case letters, not very useful

When using the Find Files(s) action to identify files for further processing, I got strange problems as some files seemed to once in a while be missing. I rather quickly found that this problem applied to files with upper-case letters in the name, and I further identified that the Files Found output variable gives the file names with lower-case letters only. At least to me, this seems like a bug as file names are indeed case-sensitive (generally).

My application of the Find File(s) is to get a list of files (by using wildcards) for further check out from clear case, as the clear case checkout command can not be used with wildcards. Due to the lower-case problem, clear case now fail to check out files which actually had upper-case letters in the name, and I am stuck again!

Is there a way to solve this problem with the Find File(s) action?

Hi,

The Find File(s) action uses WMI to perform the search, which for some reason only returns the filenames as lowercase. An alternative to using the Find File(s) action would be to define a FileSet and then use the ‘FileSet to Variable’ action.
