FIXNames

[Charles G]

if a filename has either ( or ) it causes TCC/TCMD to double quote the name; Hence I think it would be nice if Fixnames would replace either char with maybe _ please.

Version I am using:
F/V: 0.28.0.0
P/V: 0.28.0
Size: 38.5
Date: 12/14/15 at 11:43am

P.S. Same thing with single quotes...... please....

I don't know why filename completion does that; I don't seem to need to quote such filenames. To prevent confusion with command grouping, perhaps? I've added a /C for parentheses.

Apostrophes: What's wrong with apostrophes?

Thank you Charles.

What is the web address for the plugin please?

Charles.

Theoretically, quotes are replaced with apostrophes. I don't know whether this has ever been tested, though. It shouldn't be possible to create a filename containing quotes -- they are illegal. Do you actually have filenames containing quotes?

I do have filenames with an uneven number of quotes, and ones with ">", as shown in the attached bad_names.txt, attached. I have not used fixnames yet.

about post #7, I made a filelist with CMD doing "dir /a:-d /b /o:gen /s -path- > listfile" then ran the attached testing.btm as testing listfile, just to help catch any filenames that are not ok with TCMD.....
