    CoreConverter - error when filename contains "&"

    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.

    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...
