Hi!
Time for another test. This time with quote in password. Here's the result from the test

Create a archive with password = aa"a

D:\PACL_Test>pacomp -a -saa"a -e2 -p Test3.zip PICT0030.jpg

Example PACOMP commands:
------------------------

   pacomp -a docs.zip "c:\my documents\*.doc"
       Compress all *.doc files from  "c:\my documents" directory to archive
       docs.zip

   pacomp -a -ssecret -c0 -p -r stuff.bh "c:\my stuff\*"
       Compress all files from "c:\my stuff" directory and subdirectories to
       archive stuff.bh with no compression and with password "secret"

Press ENTER to continue:

PACOMP won't accept quote in password. Next thing try using ^"

       Compress all files from "c:\my stuff" directory and subdirectories to
       archive stuff.bh with no compression and with password "secret"

Press ENTER to continue:

Still no success. I then try put the password in a file.

Content of password.txt

aa"a

I then create the archive

D:\PACL_Test>pacomp -a -s@password.txt -e2 -p Test3.zip PICT0030.jpg

Archive: D:\PACL_Test\Test3.zip
  preparing to compress...
  adding: PICT0030.JPG   --> Done. [100%]

All OK

D:\PACL_Test>

Looks like it working properly. Now I try test the created archive to check that the password is set correctly.

Archive --> D:\PACL_Test\Test3.zip [ZIP]

  testing: PICT0030.JPG  Enter password for PICT0030.JPG: aaa

   *** Message: Invalid password   aaa
Enter password for PICT0030.JPG: aa"a
--> OK [100%]

D:\PACL_Test>

Looks like it's working with quote in password as long as you put the password in a file.

Test result: OK with remark

The user should not have to put the password in a textfile to use quote in the password. On the other hand the workaround by using a textfile will solve the problem with quote in the password.

Since I'm not sure what the expected result would be, but from the post of spwolf I get the impression that it should be possible now to use quote in a password when using PACL 6.02 even without a password stored in a textfile.

Kind Regards
Micke
