Even when I am using:
re.sub('/s', '\\/s', filename)
I am still getting the same output, even trying to assign the above to
a new variable doesn't work (as I wasn't sure if re.sub returned a new
value or changed filename in place, I tried both with)
Does the Python interpreter strip off backslashes or something with strings?On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 5:53 PM, C Smith <illusiontechniq...@gmail.com> wrote: >>Change: > > >>subprocess.call(['ffmpeg', '-i', filename, str(track)+'.mp3']) > >>to: > >>subprocess.call(['ffmpeg', '-i', '"%s"' % filename, str(track)+'.mp3']) > > I still get the same errors, the filenames are passed to the shell > without escaping the spaces. > >>Why not using ffmpeg without jumping into Python.
