May not handle filenames with () in them? #26

Closed nstanger closed 8 years ago

nstanger commented 8 years ago

The shellquote method in shell_command.py replaces () with \(\), which results in literal backslashes in the filename (e.g., foo(bar) becomes foo\(bar\)), giving “No such file or directory”.

May also not work if the filename contains blanks, etc., and is backslash-escaped on the command line, e.g., foo\ bar.txt? No problem if it’s fully quoted, e.g., "foo bar.txt".

Tested: backslash quoting of whitespace, etc., in filenames is fine.
