hey all long time no post, Hi Mic

Quick question, I tried searching but did not find a solution.  Is
there a way for xcopy to avoid seeing the back apostrophie (') ?

This fails because the back apostrophie:
xcopy "C:\mail\AB'09 Mail.pst" /y /h C:\backup

I suspect it just looks like the backtick (Is that what it's called?) but
is actually a high-ascii character.

Using a wildcard might help but the actual circumstances might make that
impractical.

xcopy "C:\mail\AB?09 Mail.pst" /y /h C:\backup

Hi hope all is well, I'll see if I can integrate ' with my script,
perhaps anytime I find this character I can replace it with ? during
the xcopy process, the outcome should preserve the backtick.  thanks
