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
