Trouble with filenames that start with #

I am trying to use Chatty software for Twitch in order to retrieve the chatlog, but it saves it chatlog with a filename starting with # and I am not able to change that. Consequently, instead of the file the $.get returns the document itself i.e. the page that I am calling it on. 

   $.get('#chatlog.log', function(data){
        console.log(data);
    })

Are there any viable workarounds for this?

Thank you for your time.

Solution

  • Just use 

    $.get('%23chatlog.log', function(data){
     console.log(data);
 })

    %23 encodes the hash sign as valid part of the name. In other case # is understud as a separator (fragment) in the url
