Option to escape semicolon in command line needed

[HansS]

I have favorite toolbar entry to start windows terminal in active or selected directory, but this does not work if directory name contains semicolon.

E.g. if you have a directory "D:\temp\a;b"
and toolbar entry:

Code: Select all

Name: wt cmd ActivSel
Program: wt.exe
Parameter: --window 0 new-tab --profile "Eingabeaufforderung" -d "%ActivDir%\%ActivItem%"

it does not work, and the cmd-syntax for replace is obviously not supported, command does not work at all with:

Code: Select all

"%ActivItem:;=\;%"

In the shell the command

Code: Select all

wt --window 0 new-tab --profile "Eingabeaufforderung" -d "D:\temp\a;b"

does not work either, but

Code: Select all

wt --window 0 new-tab --profile "Eingabeaufforderung" -d "D:\temp\a\;b"

or

Code: Select all

set "_temp=D:\temp\a;b"
wt --window 0 new-tab --profile "Eingabeaufforderung" -d "%_temp:;=\;%"

works.
