Erase and _Renamefile not case sensitive

[Straso Jovanovski]

Hello, I am trying to delete/rename files from directory and encountering that commands -erase- and _renamefile seem to be case-insensitive.
For example, when running the code:

erase "`dir'\file.dta"
_renamfile "`dir'\FILE.dta" "`dir'\file.dta"

both produce undesired results/errors; in the first case, command -erase- deletes the file named "FILE.dta; and in the second case, error "file "file.dta" already exists", even though what is in the directory is FILE.dta.
Does anyone have help on how to make these case-sensitive? Thank you for any help.

Stata is case-sensitive; Windows is not. The problem is with Windows not Stata.

Okay. Thank you for your help.
