It wasn't the spaces in the code that were causing the issue. Whomever was naming the files that I was running this against was using an <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/irregular-2749380" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about IRREGULAR">IRREGULAR</a> dash. Even when copying the name directly it wasn't finding it. Thank You to everyone who replied.<br/><br/>I thought that this script worked with spaces and I even checked it against an older job I did and it worked.</body></html> | |
