CoreConverter - error when filename contains "&"

[hopkins]

Hi,

On Windows 10, using CoreConverter.exe with an input filename that contains the caracter "&" (as in Body & Soul) generates an error. Is there a way to include a filename with that caracter ?

Thanks

No, the & is not allowed by the file and operating system.

No, the & is not allowed by the file and operating system.

Thanks, but there is no issue having a filename on Windows with "&" - the characters which are not allowed are: <>:"/\|?*
Moreover, there is no issue with having & when using the batch converter program, for example.

So I think the issue is specific to CoreConverter.

Just tried with & in filename and the conversion works fine.

What do you convert from and to? What is the full source folder and filename? where are the files stored? local hdd?

Thanks. I must be doing something wrong. EDIT - just saw my mistake. Somehow the & in my program resulted in an additional quote in front of "-infile=
Sorry about that, had not seen it.

You're right. I apologize for my misinformation - it was just too early in the morning...
