Problem run ROMS with comma character

[gleam2003]

Update, same issue

I test with change the roms name to find when the problem occurs.

A space after "(" is the problem. My error is to suppose that the problem is the ","

Can you verify?

This is the command pass to system() command in runSystemCommand function in platform.cpp

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS mastersystem /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mastersystem/Alex\ Kidd\ in\ Miracle\ World\ (USA,\ Europe).7z

My EmulationStation is the development version and I think the problem is in StringUtil.cpp that substitute the strreplace function

@gleam2003 Don't know what going wrong here I just renamed one mastersystem ROM to Alex Kidd in Miracle World (USA, Europe).sms and it worked without any flaws.
Does your 7zip file contain more than one ROM?

@cyperghost
Probably problem is only in development version of emulationstation
Wait i'm going to recompile the stable branch to watch if is ok

[gleam2003]

I can confirm, the problem is with development tree

with stable:
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS mastersystem /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mastersystem/Alex\ Kidd\ in\ Miracle\ World\ \(USA,\ Europe\).7z

with development:
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS mastersystem /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mastersystem/Alex\ Kidd\ in\ Miracle\ World\ (USA,\ Europe).7z

In stable ther's escapePath function, missing completely in development

I fix this later today when I'm not at work.

There is still an escapePath function, it's just moved to a different location in the source.

Looking at the output, it seems it didn't escape the last ')' properly.

@tomaz
Thank you
Not only last ) but also ( and I think any other charachter escape in stable branch with escapePath() function

Edit: there's a space before (

@gleam2003
I see now that both ( and ) fails, but the new escapePath function definitely runs since it has escaped all the spaces, will know more when I'm back home later today.

@gleam2003
Fixed and submitted, just need to wait for it to be accepted and merged.

@tomaz
Thank you, compiled and tested.

@gleam2003
Did the fix work for you? It should be merged in the dev branch now.

@tomaz
Yes sorry I think you understand from my previous post

Hi,
There are free utilities that can search an entire folder and remove that one character from all file names. Pretty sure it’s called Bulk Rename Utility. I used it to tidy up all my file names
