Command line and semi-colon in filename

Hello!

Is there a way to use the command line, like "arenc.ex -f file1.txt;fileA;B.txt;file2.txt", with a file that contains a semi-colon? Like "fileA;B.txt" here?

Tried putting quotes around each filename, but it's not working...

Hi Bruno,

Are you using the menu option "Tools/Command line"? That always seems to work better for me, with less chance of messing up the command (like you calling "arenc.ex" instead of "arenc.exe".

Other than that I've got nothing. It seems you should be able to use a file with semicolons if it's enclosed in quotes.

Best,
DF

Thanks for the reply! Didn't think to check with this helper dialog!

Unfortunately, it still produce a command-line that fails. That ".ex" was a typo here.

It seems to be a bug. Maybe compounded by the fact that my source folder name contains a space as well, although, without a ';' in the filename, that space was never an issue.

Guess I'll steer clear of semicolons for now!


Have a great day!
Bruno
