Files with ampersand(&) in the filename

TrID does appear to like ampersands in the filename in the Windows version.  I have not tried Linux.

Hi!

You just have to state the whole [pathname+]file within quotes, like in:

Code: [Select]
C:\TrID>trid "\t\black&white.txt"
It's the same convention used with standard DOS & Win command like TYPE, COPY, etc.

Bye!
