GetFilePart

; This (Mac/Linux) bug is very unlikely to happen and cause big problems, but I had to report…
Debug GetFilePart(~"/folder/a\"b") ; result: a

Edit (to be more clear): double quotes are allowed in Mac/Linux file names

Same result on Windows.

Maybe because " is not allowed on windows?

AFAIK the #DoubleQuote is not a vaild character in a filename, on windows, / and \ are now treated equally and they are not allowed in a filename, too.

Code: Select all

Debug CheckFilename(~"a\"b") ; result: 0 on windows 

[Piero]

Note (also for future reference):
A similar Mac/Linux problem may happen with RunProgram and shell commands, e.g.:

Code: Select all

RunProgram("open", String_With_Single_Or_Double_Quotes ,"")

Debug GetFilePart(~"/folder/a/b")


Works on MAC

Debug GetFilePart(~"/folder/a/b")
Works on MAC

You don't need ~ for "/folder/a/b", but you need it for ~"/folder/a\"b" (~" \" " is to put a double quote into a string)
