C:List and files/paths containing globbing characters

Create a few directories in RAM:


Makedir ALL "RAM:test/foo (bar)" "RAM:test/bar (foo)"
Echo to "RAM:test/foo (bar)/foo"
Echo to "RAM:test/bar (foo)/bar"


Then try something simple as:

List RAM:test ALL FILES LFORMAT "%p%n" LFQ W

A couple more Workbench woes

Old cruft that's been bothering me since forever with Workbench...

Re: Workbench ARexx shortcommings

Same for 3.2.3

The only way to get a "file" somewhat correctly is to ask workbench about selected icons in active window, there's no way to get selected icons in _all_ windows (volumes, drawers and root), and getting "file" associated with icons left out on the workbench root windows is still ...

Re: Titties and beer?

More titties and beer is needed!!

Can someone please explain why it is that many (but not all!) of the binaries of 3.2.2 update are same version string as in 3.2 and 3.2.1, yet checksum and file size are different? Because they are now built with updated SDK/NDK/Toolchain, I presume - but this ...

Re: Bug in Find
