Filenames with single quotes breaks functionality. #4

Closed futuremotiondev closed 1 year ago

futuremotiondev commented 2 years ago

I've successfully gotten this to work and I'm super excited! The only problem is that if a file with a single quote is passed through, everything breaks (assuming -q:' is set). Is there any chance in the world you can add an option to double up single quotes within files that are being passed?

For example: my_file'name.mov

Should be transformed to: my_file''name.mov

This change will get files with single quotes to parse correctly in Powershell.

thanks for mentioning success... mainly for now just saying i've seen your request and it makes sense... i'll try to make the time to crack open project and do some tweak for this... in the interim, as "inspiration", could you give a taste of why you can't change filenames on your end? @visusys, just making sure you saw this?
