Bashscripts.org

Hi Guys

I dont really post that much here but i find it a great resource.

Basically what I want is to create a bash script that uses zenity to ask for a file and then pass it to FCEU (A NES emulator). Yes I know there is a nice GUI frontend, but members of my family are extremely computer illiterate and would like something simpler.

Its easy to launch from the command prompt (fceu <filename>), but when i use zenity --file-selection the output does not put \'s in front of the spaces or brackets (ie zenity will output /home/andy/Abadox (U).zip instead of /home/andy/Abadox\ \(U\).zip )

I fixed this up using the following sed scripts so that it will output the correct format:
FILENAME=`zenity --file-selection | sed -n 's/\ /\\\ /gp' | sed 's/(/\\\(/g' | sed 's/)/\\\)/g'` (I know...very messy)

But i still get the following error:
Starting FCE Ultra 0.98.12...
Loading \(U\).zip...

Error opening "\(U\).zip"!

Any ideas???

Thanks

Hi, you don't include how FCEU is called but i assume it's something like so;



If that's similar then extra quotes etc might help...



This should hopefully stop any requirement for convoluted seds

I hope that helps
