Forbidden character: –

I downloaded a file that had a non-standard dash in it's filename (–  -)
Sab did not treat it as a forbidden character. Via Samba, the symbol shows up as a non-filled square, via SSH, the symbol shows up as "â"
Eventhough the file was downloaded flawlessly, Sab says: Failed to repair, not enough repairblocks, thus leaving it in the _incomplete folder.

Version: 0.6.4
OS: Ubuntu 10.04.2
Install-type: PPA
Skin (if applicable): Plush
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? no
Is the issue reproducible? yes

It looks like par2 doesn't know how to handle that character.
Have you tried running par2 manually from an SSH session?

I can't even get into the folder containing the character. when i try to "cd" into "folderâ" i get

Code: Select all

-bash: cd: folderâ: Invalid or incomplete multibyte-character
(i don't know if that's what the english error message looks like, i translated from dutch)


when i do

Code: Select all

par2 v /folderâ/fileâ.par2 /folderâ/fileâ.rar
I get:

Code: Select all

The recovery file does not exist: /folderâ/fileâ.par2

cd folder

when i try to paste the – symbol into my ssh client, it gets interpreted as a .

cd folder.
file or folder does not exist

Add the ? question mark, that's a wildcard.

cd folder? worked

/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2

seems to start par2, but then: "Target: "file.rar" - missing."

same goes for:

/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2 file?.rar
/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2 "file .rar"
/folderâ$ par2 v file?.par2 file.rar
