Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WORKSFORME --- Comment #10 from Wayne Davison <way...@samba.org> --- The consistent and documented escaping is that some characters get ouput with a backslash+hash+3-digit octal number. This includes control chars, some backslashes, and (without -B) high-bit chars. From the man page: "The escape idiom that started in 2.6.7 is to output a literal backslash (\) and a hash (#), followed by exactly 3 octal digits. For example, a newline would output as "\#012". A literal backslash that is in a filename is not escaped unless it is followed by a hash and 3 digits (0-9)." One easy way to unescape is thus to filter names through something like this: perl -pe 's/\\#(\d\d\d)/chr(oct($1))/eg' (...after any necessary parsing of the output to find the names or twiddle newlines into nulls). You'll note that this only matches exactly 3-digits, as rsync will leave something like "\#5" alone in the output, since it cannot be confused with an actual escaped char. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
