Can you share a screenshot?

This isn't exactly something Terminal is in control of, but we can still try to help.

[dvein95]

Pleasee see the screenshot.
If I run the command in PowerShell Terminal there is no issue.
If I run the command using normal cmd there is no issue

Huh.

This might sound weird, but are you typing the command in, or copy-pasting it/? I wonder if there's a paste filter in conhost that might translate characters that look like . or / into the ASCII ones.

[dvein95]

Hmm, I copy the command in NotePad then it works. Seems Terminal not able to automatic change the ASCII or otherway around

Note to team:
we should either...

• make this the epic for special character filtering for paste, or...
• find a dup (possibly Pasting tab characters into the Terminal replaces these characters with the name of the first file in the working directory #9380, Strip or replace tabs when pasting #6134)

[carlos-zamora]

/dup #6134
