A quick follow up is that running “epadmin rehash” on the document that this indexcodes.txt file is derived from didn’t fix the hash value.

Question 1: Any ideas on how I can make sure that the indexcodes file gets rehashed?

About the list not sending messages for a while, I received some news from the administrators that indeed, there was a temporary issue with the list which is now fixed.  As a result, some messages from the last couple of days might not have shown up in everyone’s inbox.  I am also re-sending an earlier message of mine that contains a different question:

Background info:

This might be useful for others, I solved the issue with a couple of REGEX:

    $filename =~ s/\x27/=0027/g;

    $filename =~ s/\x22/=0022/g;

to replace the quote and double-quote in what is returned by this function:

     file->get_value("filename")

From a digital preservation perspective, I think it is significant to note that "filename" in this object:

    https://wiki.eprints.org/w/File_Object

does not necessarily refer to the "filename" on disk.

Question 2: What is the function or property (is there one?) in EPrints objects that is identical to the filename of the file as it is on the filesystem?

Thanks!
