Escaping double-quotes in command-line
Posted: Wed Sep 20, 2023 6:14 pm
Hi Tobias,
Our automation scripts should update Syncovery profile with ExecuteAfter scripts.
The command line for the scripts includes double-quotes characters like this:
When I am updating the profile manually using UI everything is stored correctly:
But when I add using command line like:
or
it saves the configuration like this (without double-quotes):
Please advise how should I construct the command line and escape the /ExecuteAfter properly so it saves double-quote characters?
Thank you.

The command line for the scripts includes double-quotes characters like this:
Code: Select all
++script.bat "$LEFT" "$RIGHT" "$LOGFILE"
Code: Select all
[ExecuteAfter]
xaf_test=++script.bat "$LEFT" "$RIGHT" "$LOGFILE"
Code: Select all
Syncovery.exe ADD /Name=test /Left=C:\left /Right=C:\right /L2R /MoveMode=mmMoveNormal /RecycleDel=No /ExecuteAfter="++script.bat ""$LEFT"" ""$RIGHT"" ""$LOGFILE""" /Mask=:+c:\WORK\111\l-r.txt /UseFolderMasks /FolderMasks=?*
Code: Select all
Syncovery.exe CHANGE test /ExecuteAfter="++script.bat ""$LEFT"" ""$RIGHT"" ""$LOGFILE"""
Code: Select all
[ExecuteAfter]
xaf_test=++script.bat $LEFT $RIGHT $LOGFILE
