SABnzbd Forums

Hi

I'm trying to get a script to play nicely with SAB, so I need to mimic the way characters are replaced.  The thing is, my observed behaviour does not tally with the SAB code, so I'm confused -

the code
replaces the illegal chars with the corresponding legal chars, yet I'm seeing replacements (on win32) such as

: becomes ;  - some other chars become .

how can that happen when the SAB code doesn't do it?!

ta

Release 0.4.6 doesn't replace ':' with ';' (release 0.4.5 did that).

What are you trying to accomplish?
What is the source of your NZB names?
Note that many sites already do substitutions themselves (like newzbin.com and tvnzb.com).

that explains it.  I'm using 0.4.5 but checked the code of 0.4.6

dohw!

thanks.

ps: have you ever considered replacing

& with + 

too? - an & can bugger up windows post-processing something rotten!

Why was this changed? All my series I set up and downloaded under 0.4.5 now all go to a different folder! Is ';' an unsupported character somewhere?

Yes, Linux and OSX don't really like it.
And many people just dislike it.

BTW, there's also an option to remove illegal characters altogether.
