Spaces in -fs_userpath are not allowed about opensoldat HOT 3 CLOSED

Oh, I see. I didn't think of trying that!

It's not exactly pretty though. That gave me an idea. The same could be achieved by changing shared/Command.pas:491 from this:

      CurrentCommand := CurrentCommand + ' ' + argv[i];

to this:

      CurrentCommand := CurrentCommand + ' "' + argv[i] + '"';

I just tried that out and it this allows me tu run as:

./bin/opensoldat -fs_portable 0 -fs_userpath ~/temp/soldat\ with\ space -join 127.0.0.1 23073 -log_level 1

Now escaped spaces work as expected and all the other command-line arguments remain functional as well. What do you think of doing it like that? You wouldn't have to rely on people reading documentation.

Wayyy better thanks.

It's actually possible to do this already, quoted strings are supported out of the box by TStringList. You can see it in action in the default server.cfg, where sv_hostname is set to "My Server" (with the space included). Using this from the command line will probably be ugly, because the quote needs to actually reach OpenSoldat and shells like to mess with quotes. The following worked ok for me with bash and fish:

./opensoldatserver -fs_userpath "\"~/temp/soldat with space\"" -log_level 1

But of course this is a pretty bad documentation problem, which should be solved ASAP. Anyone is welcome to take a stab at adding a few pages to the wiki, and I'll try to get around to adding some documentation myself soon.
