What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Rename/'touch' a text file with a single quote, like this: Roo'd.txt
2. It will not open with QLColorCode.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would have expected to see the contents (or just a blank screen, if just
'touch'ed) of the file.
Problem is, that the quote (') (at least in bash) is a reserved word and thus
the script falls over.
(OS X) Console.app barfs something like this:
QLColorCode: colorize.sh failed with exit code 2. Command was
('/Users/blah/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator/Contents/Resources/color
ize.sh'
'/Users/blah/Library/QuickLook/QLColorCode.qlgenerator/Contents/Resources'
'/Users/blah/E-
Books/Klein, Joshua - Roo'd.txt' 0).
I've looked into colorize.sh (which is a z.sh-script of which I have no idea)
and it looks as if the
file which is handed over as parameter is processed directly, thus the single
quote being
recognized as a special character and being treated as such - which it should
not.
Manually calling colorize.sh with the appropriate parameters and "quoting" the
filename like this
Klein\,\ Joshua\ -\ Roo\'d\.txt
*does* work (to my surprise).
It looks - to me as a beginner - as if the incoming filename parameter needs to
be quoted in
"unix-style" fashion. Sounds probably easier than it really is. Maybe it's not
possible at all.
I've though about something like this $(filename//'//\\'}, but of course, that
would've been too
easy.
Side remark: Yes, I know it's bad style to use single quotes in filenames, but
unfortunately I have
no say in what people do...
Side remark 2: The story I used as an example is actually existing. It's an
interesting read, for
free here: http://www.josh.is/projects/rood/
Side remark 3: Yes, I've read the instructions at the very beginning and am
pretty sure, this
should go to www.andre-simon.de, but then, I am not 100% sure where
highlight.sh gets it's
parameters from, so I gave it a shot here. Just say so, if I am wrong. Thanks
in advance. :-)
