Errors with special spaces and other special characters in the filename using -i (--input-file) option #91

Hi there,

I'm trying to automate nyuu as much as possible. I'm trying to feed it a list of file(path)s so that it can do its thing.

So for the command % nyuu -C ~/Desktop/nyuu-config.json -i list-of-files I keep getting the following error

[ERR ] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Volumes/Orion/Uploads/FinnixOS.\(2019\).01x04.Linus.Thorvalds.Is.Our.God.CLI-TR.Jump.10bit.SWING.\ \[WE\ Rule\]/14dc61f23410ce8ac7ce7e23f1d33f47b2a43e3bb1b53ee7.7z.001'

But I also got that same error on another file in the list when it was in a different location

[ERR ] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Volumes/Orion/Uploads\ Temp/I.Love.Pizza.S99E254.Hawaiian.Without.Pineapple.Is.Blasphemy.200000p-TheHUT/9f49b95ee39a174fa34fc94d393a8016d2a22bc300155ca8.7z.001'

As you can see, other than the space in the filepath, there are no other special characters in that fileset.

Once I changed that file from /Volumes/Orion/Uploads\ Temp to /Volumes/Orion/Uploads and regenerated the paths with a script, it worked without a hitch. It uploaded every single file correctly. It still wouldn't upload the files belonging to '/Volumes/Orion/Uploads/FinnixOS.\(2019\).01x04.Linus.Thorvalds.Is.Our.God.CLI-TR.Jump.10bit.SWING.\ \[WE\ Rule\]/14dc61f23410ce8ac7ce7e23f1d33f47b2a43e3bb1b53ee7.7z.001'.

If I drag and drop all the files that would fail (therefore not using the -i option) it works as expected.

Thing is, I sanitize the possible special characters in the paths to look just as if I dragged and dropped it into the terminal. I take away every special character such as `,(),[]` etc. using sed

sed -e 's/ /\\ /g' -e 's/\[/\\[/g' -e 's/\]/\\]/g' -e 's/(/\\(/g' -e 's/)/\\)/g'

And yet it will still give me the ENOENT error then the file with spaces, parenthesis and brackets in the filename is present.

In what way do I have to format the filepaths containing possible special characters so that nyuu accepts them?

File list needs no sanitation, so it only needs the absolute paths to the files you want to upload.

Nyuu adds ' to beginning and end of every path.

This was a case of overthinking on my part  ;)

Closing as it works.

Technically that's not quite right, though I suppose you could think of it that way.

If it helps with understanding, the shell requires escaping because it does a bunch of expansion logic (and uses spaces to delimit arguments).
When Nyuu reads a list of files, it's not comming through a shell, so will take anything specified literally.

Glad it's figured out though.
