Run command doesnt work after compiling my help.cpp file on macOS #201

however it should execute child process ./help

there are some unneeded quotation marks i think blocking actual execution.

i am not expert in lua so i cannot patch it myself

Can you please patch

textadept/modules/textadept/run.lua

at line 255 ?

and replace

cpp= './“%e”',

with something like

cpp=OSX './%e', without quotation marks

Thanks for the report. Fixed via https://github.com/orbitalquark/textadept/commit/1798c6a842978a05396b39427fdda148bec08899

Use "./%e" instead of ./"%e".
