"file not found" using * wildcard #581

When trying

eyeD3 --remove-frame PRIV --remove-all-comments *.mp3

in a directory full of mp3's it answers with

file not found *.mp3

Same with other file suffixes, with . and other eyeD3 commands. Same in cmd.exe and PS. Individual filenames work correctly. I'm new to Python. Could there be anything wrong with the installation? Using Python 3.10.7 and EyeD3 0.9.6 on Windows 10/64bit.

How many files are we dealing with here? A quick test of 8 files and *.mp3 works for me (i.e. Linux bash)

Try ls *.mp3 . What's the answer?

peeraxel commented 1 year ago

Tested in a directory with >6000 files and in another one with only 13. dir *.mp3 lists all of them.

Maybe eyeD3 just has a problem with this set variable. You can try to work around it with for loops. And no, it can't be because of the installation... Try it for %i in (*.mp3) do eyeD3 --remove-frame PRIV --remove-all-comments %i

Good suggestion. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with the [space] character. For each song i get an output like:

eyeD3 --remove-frame PRIV --remove-all-comments Artist Name - Song Title.mp3
file not found: Artist

Spaces are also not allowed to stand alone. Use quotation marks if your text contains a space.

eyeD3 --remove-frame PRIV --remove-all-comments --artist "Artist name" input.mp3

Both lines were the output. However, adding quotation marks to %i finally made it work:

for %i in (*.mp3) do eyeD3 --remove-frame PRIV --remove-all-comments "%i"

Thank you!
