Total Commander (English) • Re: When passing the parent path, an extra quote is added to the argument.

I would have noticed that a long time ago. TC 11.03? Check on 11.51.

I've tested it and 11.51 still has this "bug".

And which program cannot handle that?

• .Net Framwork 4.8 And .Net 8

  Code:

  static void Main(string[] args){     MessageBox.Show(String.Join(" ", args));}

• Visual Basic 6

  There is no native support for parameter parsing, so you need to call the API.

  Code:

  Private Declare Function GetCommandLineW Lib "kernel32" () As LongPrivate Declare Function CommandLineToArgvW Lib "shell32.dll" (ByVal lpCmdLine As Long, pNumArgs As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Sub CopyMemory Lib "kernel32" Alias "RtlMoveMemory" (Destination As Any, Source As Any, ByVal length As Long)Private Declare Function LocalFree Lib "kernel32" (ByVal hMem As Long) As LongPrivate Declare Function lstrlenW Lib "kernel32" (ByVal lpString As Long) As LongFunction GetCommandLineArgs() As String()    Dim ptrCmdLine As Long    ptrCmdLine = GetCommandLineW()        Dim numArgs As Long    Dim ptrArgs As Long    ptrArgs = CommandLineToArgvW(ptrCmdLine, numArgs)        If ptrArgs = 0 Then Exit Function        Dim args() As String    ReDim args(numArgs - 1)        Dim i As Long, ptrArg As Long    For i = 0 To numArgs - 1        CopyMemory ptrArg, ByVal ptrArgs + i * 4, 4        args(i) = LPWSTRtoStr(ptrArg)    Next i        LocalFree ptrArgs    GetCommandLineArgs = argsEnd FunctionFunction LPWSTRtoStr(ByVal ptr As Long) As String    If ptr = 0 Then Exit Function    Dim length As Long    length = lstrlenW(ptr)    LPWSTRtoStr = String$(length, 0)    CopyMemory ByVal StrPtr(LPWSTRtoStr), ByVal ptr, length * 2End FunctionSub Main()    Dim cml, i    cml = GetCommandLineArgs()    For i = LBound(cml) To UBound(cml)        MsgBox cml(i)    NextEnd Sub

  Code:

  console.log(process.argv);process.stdin.setRawMode(true);process.stdin.resume();process.stdin.on('data', process.exit.bind(process, 0));

  import sysimport msvcrtargs = sys.argvprint(args)msvcrt.getch()

• Windows Script Host

  Code:

  for (var i = 0; i < WScript.Arguments.length; i++) {  WScript.Echo(WScript.Arguments.item(i));}

Only WSH was able to get the final slash correctly, and all other languages I could use, were escaped as quotation marks.
I think any program that uses the CommandLineToArgv Win32API will have this problem, because that's the Windows parsing logic.
