Question regarding subject

[Ravencentric]

This isn't really an issue, just a question since I'm trying to understand it

The default subject is {comment} [{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize} {comment2} according to help-full.txt

Are the double quotes around {filename} important? From what I've tested it's making no difference. My filename was helck - Copy.mkv.

Passing '[{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}' gets me [1/7] - helck - Copy.mkv yEnc (1/483) 346054287 Passing "[{0filenum}/{files}] - {filename} yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}" also gets me [1/7] - helck - Copy.mkv yEnc (1/483) 346054287

Am I missing something? or not understanding it?

Are the double quotes around {filename} important?

It is the suggested subject format in the yEnc spec. The double quotes helps with filenames containing spaces (like in your example).

Passing '[{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}' gets me [1/7] - helck - Copy.mkv yEnc (1/483) 346054287

I am not reproducing this. Are you sure that, however you're checking this, the viewer isn't stripping the quotes out?
If so, if you could provide a full command that can reproduce your issue, I can try to do so myself.

If you're running that verbatim from a bash shell or similar, you may need to escape the double quotes (or enclose the subject in single quotes).

$ echo "abc "def" ghi"
abc def ghi
$ echo 'abc "def" ghi'
abc "def" ghi
$ echo "abc \"def\" ghi"
abc "def" ghi

I'm using the commands stated in my post verbatim in Windows Terminal. Echo behaves differently on Windows so I can't test it via echo

> echo '[{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}'
'[{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}'

> echo [{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}
[{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}

> echo "[{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}"
"[{0filenum}/{files}] - "{filename}" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}"

> echo "[{0filenum}/{files}] - \"{filename}\" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}"
"[{0filenum}/{files}] - \"{filename}\" yEnc ({part}/{parts}) {filesize}"

helck - Copy3.nzb.txt

[animetosho]

Your test 3 looks correct.

On Windows, quotes can be escaped with \ or doubling the quotes ("" or \" -> ").

[Ravencentric]

Hmm I see, but what about the --nzb-subject? Since that's resulting in <file poster="phB31AKX5k@WYjhO.Ubh" date="1691584952" subject="[1/7] - &quot;helck - Copy.mkv&quot; yEnc (1/483) 346054287"> Is this correct and how it's supposed to be?

[animetosho]

Yes.

Okay, I understand now. Thank you for being patient with me!
