#227 Streamripper creates folder with invalid name

[tenbob]

I'm logging a problem I found, even though it looks like there is nobody currently working on this project.

On Windows 7, Streamripper created a folder based on the stream name containing an invalid character. Various Windows programs were then unable to open the folder, delete or rename it.

I think the problem was an extra space on the end of the folder name, but it's hard to tell.

For anyone else with the same problem, here is a workaround. You can rename the folder at the command prompt. Go to the folder above the offending one and list the contents with dir /x. This shows the old 8.3 style DOS folder names. Then use the name that was displayed with ren oldname newname.

I see what happened to cause this. I thought it had come from stream source, but it was a configuration error. I was using the Windows GUI version, wstreamripper.exe. In the Options
the Pattern tab was configured incorrectly. It had %S /%A - %T which has an extra space in the folder name part. Need a trap for this.
