Hi, yes cool but this is only for PowerShell-Skripting (.ps), the old cli cmd.exe (.cmd,.bat) don't encapsulate strings with spaces in one string.

[cyberpunkbln]

I catch the %* for the whole Argument-String-Param i must say. The Arg-Params can be different. And this string comes unquoted to the cmd-batch-file and single-quotes don't work in oldscool-cmd-cli.

Now i have tried to use a cmd to call a pscript or directly the powershell

encapsulate single with double quotes "'[HREF]'" functioned

powershell -Command %~dp0\youtube-dl.exe %*

but i have the problem too, ampersand will not be escaped right

for dos he must ^& so escaped

i will use dos as an container fpr the pscript or powershell command why here on this pc i don't can set the execution policy, thats the problem

Try this dev version. There is a new option in the settings to include quotations in the argument list. Let me know if you are not familiar with how to install dev versions.

Hi,

so i have seen your last Public-Update has this feature and it's functioned very very well, when i put doublequotes around [HREF] and use the option, the whole Path will be delivered with a double quote surround. Great.

Now i must write again my cmd-scripts and iam happy.

thx
