2016-12-02 11:48:54 Marek Bardoński description As far as I see, inputs into the variable-?-template should not start with a backslash, which might be possible e.g. when it is asked for a path. This is because in python and in '\n' the escape function of the backslash affects even a backslash itself and deletes it. If I am right - and i am not quite sure of it - this should be at least be in the documentation. I don't know if this is the same thing or not, but one problem I have noticed is that I can't add filesystem addresses with spaces in them, for example: Imagine you want to search in a file called 'computer notes' with grep on the command line you would escape the space with a backslash like so: grep grub ~/computer\ notes If you add this address to the User Input box to replace a ? it will enter this at the command line: grep grub ~/computer\ Which of course won't work. I have tried it without the escape character and also encased in quote marks (both with and without the escape character) and I still can't get it to work. ------------------- [original description] As far as I see, inputs into the variable-?-template should not start with a backslash, which might be possible e.g. when it is asked for a path.
