Bug #8028

Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) about 5 years ago

Shellwords.escape works incorrect under windows (tested for Windows 7 
 x64), here is example: 


 Actual result: 
 ``` 
 

 irb(main):001:0> require 'shellwords' 
 => true 

 irb(main):002:0> `echo #{Shellwords.escape( '123>' )} test` # should 
 echo "123> test", but echo nothing 
 => "" 

 irb(main):003:0> File.read( 'test' ) # but writes file "test" 
 => "123\\\n" 
 ``` 

 


 Expected result: 
 ``` 
 

 irb(main):001:0> `echo 132^> test` # the correct escape sequence, echoed 
 "123> test" 
 => "132> test\n" 
 ``` 

 


 Tested for "ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24) [i386-mingw32]", ruby 1.9.3, but this bug can be found in earlier ruby versions as well.
