I want to do this:

Code:

lists all commits , line by line. Name of committer, followed by the Commit Hash.
Problem is, that committer name can vary in length.
Thus I use the feature to pad a placeholder to a fixed size by adding spaces to the right.

Code:

Shall make committer name columns fixed to size of 30 characters.

But MorphDOS interprets the < sign as input redirection.

Thus I need to escape it.

Escape character in DOS is *

Thus I tried *< , but no success.

For normal Amiga programs using ReadArgs() one could put the argument into " ".
The " will not become part of the value of the argument.

This also works with git.
However as an unix based program the " will become part of the value of the arguemnt.
Which of course I wouldn't like to have.

Code:

will escape the < for DOS, but it results in an output containing " at the start and end of any line.


Any ideas how to solve this ?

You could try running this in 'sh'.

Didn't know sh is available in SDK, but won't help me, as I start git from a dos.library Execute() call.

Nonetheless your comment triggered some synapses ;)


Code:

Thus the < is now created at runtime and will not be interpreted by DOS :)

By the way there's a bug of git version 2.30.0
Code:
because this is not a directory at all
Code:
