Escaping Characters in args

danieldjordan opened this issue 5 years ago · comments

Not sure where this is happening, but when I put an & in my script argument field as part of a longer string it will only pass the string up to the & to the script. I am not sure how to escape the character I have tried " " ' ' /, but they all get passed as is.

Any thoughts on how to pass the & to the script?

Have you tried a backslash? \

Yeah I did, sorry didn't list that. It looks like it only happens with the multiple entry fields. If I change the arg to a standard arg it all works as expected.

Ah dang, sorry it was no help, could you paste an example of one that works and one that doesn't?

Thanks for opening this. This is a bug in how the querydict was being generated on the backend, fixed in #296 . I have a few other things I want to fix before pushing a new version out, but expect one in the not-too-distant future.

If you can run from master, you should be able to confirm this works
