Recording with special characters ('?' or '!') in name prevents wine/comskip.exe from operating in that directory

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start a recording with name such as "Rachael Ray - Wanna Live Rent Free for 
a Year?!"
2. Open the recorded clip after and no commercials are marked.
3. Check the comskip log in ~/Library/Logs/ETVComskip to see wine unable to 
find DOS drive for the path and comskip.exe unable to find the mpg file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Recordings without these special characters work fine.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ETVComskip-2.0.2-10.6 Snow Leopard 10.6.4

Please provide any additional information below.
Please find details in the attached logs

If it is indeed the special characters ('?' and/or '!' in this case) that cause 
the problem, are there any other characters we should avoid, such as '"' and 
"'"?

I have the same issue when processing TV shows with a title that contains the 
single quote character (') and the dollar sign, pound sign or exclamation mark 
($#!). Is there a way of escaping the file name to avoid this? Thanks.
