CLI and Foriegn names in folders

[richardk]

Hi,

I am trying to run the command:

Code: Select all

filebot -get-missing-subtitles "path\to\folder in korean\"

The following message is returned:

Code: Select all

Mar 17, 2013 1:30:07 PM net.sourceforge.filebot.cli.ArgumentBean getFiles
WARNING: Invalid argument
No missing subtitles
Done ?(?????)?

However, if i change the folder to an english name it works. Any suggestions?

Running this under windows 7.

You're using the cmdline... NEVER EVER USE BACKSLASH UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING

@see

Code: Select all

filebot -script "g:println args" "path\to\folder in korean\"

Code: Select all

[C:\Users\reinhard\path\to\folder in korean"]

You're escaping the \" thus passing in the character ". Don't do that.

Thanks for the reply, i don't think that is the issue. This is what I am doing:

This works

Code: Select all

filebot -get-missing-subtitles "E:\Drama\K-Drama\Cheongdamdong Alice"

this does not:

Code: Select all

filebot -get-missing-subtitles "E:\Drama\K-Drama\?? ??"

Although the unicode characters do not get displayed properly, the command prompt actually understands it since I can "cd" into the folder.

Well then, \" was only the first command prompt issue. Maybe using PowerShell will solve the issue? Since it's a lot less crappy than cmd.

myscript.groovy

Code: Select all

getMissingSubtitles(folder:'''X:/韓劇''')

This works. So unicode is completely supported within the application. But passing unicode arguments in from the cmdline is a different entirely.

Maybe setting the cmdline to codepage 65001 (UTF-8) well help:

Code: Select all

chcp 65001

Maybe plus forcing UTF-8 in FileBot:

Code: Select all

-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

Didn't get the original command to work, I've just created a script as you have above and it works.
Thanks for your help.
