Description (last modified by slyfox) (diff)
Hey,
Currently it is not possible to do any action on a file which starts white a
whitespace.
I fixed the issue in Debian with a patch which adds quotes around every file.
This works very well.. the drawback is that the -Q option for ls is not a
standard and is only used on linux hosts.
Therefore this patch has to be changed slightly to do not fail on non-linux
hosts. This patch needs two functions which are introduced in #147, therefore
we need to solve this ticket before this one can be solved.
This patch won't apply on mc-4.6 I guess as it was written for an earlier
version of mc. I'll update it afterwards.
Greetings
Winnie

(In #10) There is a fix in the 10_fish_stalls_on_symlink branch.. however this fix is uncomplete as it will fail in this scenario:
echo "ALL OK" >"this -> file"
ln -s "this -> file" "this -> link"
The link will point to -> file instead of "this -> file".
To fix this issue we need quoted output. (This means ls -Q). As this is no standard option but only used in gnu ls we have to check prior using it if this option is available.
However this is related to ticket:149.

- Description modified (diff)
vfs/fish.c: All escaping stuff was overhauled. The current idea is not to use quotes, but use proper shell escaping (quotes break ls for example, it can't parse something like this: ls " a-> b\"\"\"").
All fish ops(chown, rmdir, rm, stor, retr) were converted to use <mhl/escape.h>, removed escape nesting.
Current patchset is at branch:10_fish_whitespace_symlink_issue
Please review and test!
