Windows - Command with double quotes treated as separate commands

[Rob]

Tested on a Zomboid server on Win10 - 22H2, but had same issue on a previous version.

Issue: Command with double quotes treated as multiple commands on windows systems

Expected behaviour: 'command "string-for-command"' passes the command with "string-for-command" to rcon server

Experienced behaviour: command is treated by rcon client as multiple separate commands

Not working in Powershell - PSVersion - 5.1.19041.2364
Haven't tested on other versions of powershell.

Not working in cmd:

Working in WSL - Ubuntu:

Also works in my Linux server with no problems

I don't have this fiend. But I'll try to check. Thanks for report!

Try .\rcon -c .\rcon.yaml "servermsg \"Test test test\""

[Rob]

Powershell:
Didn't work with "servermsg "Test test Test""

Worked with 'servermsg "Test test Test"'

Command prompt:
Didn't work
C:\rcon-0.10.2-win64>rcon.exe -c .\rcon.yaml 'servermsg "Test2 test2 Test2"'
Unknown command 'servermsgEscape character did it for powershell

Cheers for the suggestion - the powershell one should be good enough for our use case
