New documentation for https://github.com/jslay88/qbt_migrate/issues/14 #15

Closed Reverse256 closed 2 years ago

Hello, I just googled 'how to contributed to github' to do this haha.

Thanks

(I have only tested Windows -> Linux)

(1) trailing '/' required ('-n /torrents/')

Doing: '-n /torrents' will result in:

X:\torrents\Linux_isos\ubuntu.iso -> /torrentsLinux_isos/ubuntu.iso

(2) only replacing 'drive_letter:\' requires double backslash '-e X:\\ -n /mnt/x/'

1: The correct pattern would be -e X: -n /torrents or -e X:\ -n /torrents/, as the script is not removing any slashes that you aren't replacing yourself with the new path.

Ergo, X:\ has a trailing slash, where as /torrents does not. You need to respect the trailing slash. (And yes, documentation was misleading, correcting).

2: \ is an escape character in Linux\Mac shell, and this should be standard knowledge that you would have to \\ on a Linux\Mac shell for Windows paths.

I will update README with the following information.
