Commas in filenames seems to break DGIndex cmd-line

[lcx]

Commas and ampersands break DGIndex command-line.

For example,
dgindex.exe -IF=[Some, File.mpg] -IA=5 -OM=0 -EXIT -OF=[Some, File]
does not work.

I understand why this happens.
I looking for any workaround suggestions other than renaming the files.

BTW,
I tried quotes around filenames and the whole parameters, but neither works.

Hi!Commas and ampersands break DGIndex command-line.As would likely also any other non-alphanumeric characters, including blank spaces.I looking for any workaround suggestions other than renaming the files.If the present filename includes invalid characters, I doubt there's any other alternative...

works for me...? i'm using version 1.4.6b1

i notice that ampersands don't work, but that's a limitation of winXP's batching rather than DGindex (i do my d2vs with a batch file associated with .m2v files - makes things very quick... just right-click, select "make d2v" in the menu, and out comes a d2v and an avs to load it).

[edit]

try put this in a batch and run it with a .vob or .m2v as argument:

"C:\Path\To\DGIndex.exe" -OM=0 -AIF=[%1] -OF=[%~dpn1] -exit

The CLI is known to have limitations and missing features like source files need a switch so you can't use a command line like 'DGIndex.exe C:\test.mpg', this prevent the usage of many typical shell operations like drag & drop, you can't use unicode filenames, you can't use commas, you can't use shell macros like '%1 %*'.

Thx Mug Funky but the batch file idea doesn't work.

The following in line 381 of gui.cpp is causing the issue with commas.
(fptr = strstr(ptr, ",")) ||

Anyone know why it is in there in the first place?

The following in line 381 of gui.cpp is causing the issue with commas. Anyone know why it is in there in the first place? Commas are used as delimiters for file lists. It's been discussed many times here.
