#1379 Menu.. unexpected results
I am trying to create a script that uses the Menu.. command to list
the directories in a directory. I have used various forms of ls -Q
--single-column, etc. and have even tried -b (use escape
character before space) and still can't get Menu.. to list the
directories which often will contain more than 1 word in the
directory name. Since as:
This is a test
In the options file that I have menu pointing to I have had the
following attempts:
"This is a test"
This\ is\ a\ test
This is a test
All of these end up dropping the first word (using that as the
actuall $name substitution instead of the whole thing). I can see
how this is useful, but it would be nice to have it detect a " and
use anything within the "" as the actual string. Perhaps even
having Webmin remove the "" so the "Quote Parameter" option
would effect it correctly. I guess another and perhaps better
option would be to have the system simply recognize escape
characters?
Thanks.

The next version of Webmin will support quoting, so you will be able to
enter a line like
"/path/to some/directory"
or even
"foo bar" "description for foo bar"
In fact, I have attached an updated module with this feature to this bug
report ..
