Re: Error occurring in dods.dap.Parser

[Tennessee Leeuwenburg <t.leeuwenburg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I basically need to use the filename to form the database 
requests. The '=' sign is convenient, but I could use text manipulation 
to avoid that character if I had to. It's a perfectly legal filename but 
I can see that it might fool a parser. I had hoped to avoid using 
alphanumerics, because they might crop up in field names etc. The = sign 
is convenient because that's how the query is formed, but I could do a 
replace with any character outside the alphanumeric space...

Cheers,
