I think I had this problem with files from a Zeiss lightsheet two years ago and I renamed the files in a cmd window (Win7) with something like:
ren ??????[??]*.tif ??????x??x*.tif

Subject: How do you open files that have brackets in the filename in a macro?
I'm stumped. I have a batch of files that I want to analyze with a macro. When the macro tries to open the files, it cuts the filename off at the close bracket (]). I tried throwing in a \ to escape the embedded brackets, but, it didn't help.
Is there a way to open the files in a way that doesn't treat the brackets as a special character? Or, is there a way to get it to ignore the brackets in the middle of the filename?
Thanks,
Jeff
ps - Here's an example of what I was trying to do...
file = "awkward_filename_[39254,8006]_component_data.tif";
bracketPattern = "([\\[\\]])";
addBackslashPattern = "\\\\$1";
escapedFile = replace(file, bracketPattern, addBackslashPattern);
// This throws an exception, because it cuts the filename off at the "]" -- and says the file does not exist //run("Bio-Formats", "open=["+file+"] color_mode=Default open_all_series view=Hyperstack stack_order=XYCZT"); // This didn't fix it. :-( run("Bio-Formats", "open=["+escapedFile+"] color_mode=Default open_all_series view=Hyperstack stack_order=XYCZT");
