[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-13720) TextIO.write .withWindowedWrites does not work on windows

["Kenneth Knowles (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13720?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17481377#comment-17481377 ] 

Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-13720:
----------------------------------------

Is the file name not appropriately escaped? Or is there no way of escaping it? The format used is an internet standard so that is pretty nice. But we could probably find a way to replace characters if this is beyond the capability of Windows.
