Got it to work:
NSString *filePath = [[destPath shellSafeString] fileSystemString];
where:
- (NSString*) shellSafeString
{
NSMutableString *string = [self mutableCopy];
// Unsafe
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\\" withString:@"\\\\"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"?" withString:@"\\?"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"*" withString:@"\\*"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"\\'"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"`" withString:@"\\`"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"$" withString:@"\\$"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"&" withString:@"\\&"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"|" withString:@"\\|"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
// White space
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@" " withString:@"\\ "
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\a" withString:@"\\a"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\t" withString:@"\\t"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\n" withString:@"\\n"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\f" withString:@"\\f"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
[string replaceOccurrencesOfString:@"\r" withString:@"\\r"
options:NSLiteralSearch range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
return string;
}
- (NSString*) fileSystemString
{
NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s", [self
fileSystemRepresentation]];
return string;
}

Hi!
How can I get NSTask to work binary and argument paths containing
special characters like French accents?
TIA for your help.
Best,
Pierre
