I am using SPQuery object and SharePoint list item having period inside its title field value. I tried many ways but no luck. Is it correct that CAML query filter not works with Period? OR I made any mistake in query. I also tried using U2U Caml Query builder and it also not showing result. Is there any work around. E.g.

<Where>
  <Eq>
     <FieldRef Name='Title' />
     <Value Type='Text'>Test.t</Value>
  </Eq></Where>

    Have you tried wrapping the value in a <![CDATA[]]> tag, like <![CDATA[Test.t]]>?

    Sorry Robert. It even does not need to use CDATA with period. It's working. I am executing query against Document Library and the list item is inside folder. I forgot to include "Scope=\"Recursive\"". My mistake.

I have just tested this on SP2013 and it works with periods without problems, so it must be something else.
