Summary: wrong quoted path substitute
Description:
Hi. I'm using a my own command line Win32 exe utility via F2 user menu from Far
3.0.6300.0 x64 Win 7 x64
I need to pass the inactive panel path to the utility command line with optional
keys, so I wrote first
cdel32.exe !#!\ -all
!\ means current path and !# means it for inactive Far panel
that works fine for paths without a space char inside.
when the path includes space characters like d:\telegram\telegram video\my cat
then macros !#!\ is replaced exactly with this string and breaks at every space
found
so my utility gets 3 extra parameters instead of a single path string
I tried to work this out by adding quotes before and after the path macros:
cdel32.exe "!#!\" -all
I thought it would substitute the path with quotes and next pass the -all
option.
however this way Far passed me the path padded by quote sign and -all too.
d:\telegram\telegram video\my cat" -all
that is, leading quota has been stripped and everything the rest is passed as a
single command line parameter which is obviously wrong.
should be
cdel32.exe "d:\telegram\telegram video\my cat" -all
I guess the \" has some higher priority and broke the logic of substitute
Steps to Reproduce:
call F2 user menu
add any call of a command line executable with "!#!\" special symbols
the expected behavior is a quoted path of an inactive Far panel
wrong behavior is a path padded with ending quote sign and everything up to the
end of menu string
