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.
