Breaks on ' in query #3

Closed codelamb closed 7 years ago

codelamb commented 7 years ago

It seems a program breaks on input containing ' , e.g. $wikipedia2text O'Henry

Hm? Cannot reproduce. This will redirect to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Henry Which I would say is correct. Where do you think it should redirect to?

I used it from Bash on Windows 10, maybe there's the rub, it has limited functionality. Sorry I didn't mention that.

@codelamb: What's the exact error message? In every bourne-shell compatible shell (like e.g. bash) you need to quote single quotes in commands. Try using one of these:

wikipedia2text O\'Henry
wikipedia2text "O'Henry"

These two works fine. Thank you for suggestion. Bash does not return any error code, just empty line beginning with symbol ">" and prompt. I can escape it only with ctrl + c
