XRoar and -lp-file output

Hi Ciaran,
I don't use very often the -lp-file option, but I have it inserted in all of my bat files ...
This parameter has always worked flawlessly and I can have a peek at the listings in the folder/file I put as parameter: ..\XRoar\sortida.txt
that should be created if not yet present in the parent folder.
Since some versions, I detected that in the XRoar folder there was a strange file with the name "..XRoarsortida.txt", you see the two points in
the name but the slashes are omitted.
I hadn't thought about a way to solve it, but right now I think that I am goig to try to use double inverted shashes instead
I will let you know if that corrects the problem.
cheers

@Ciaran,
I confirm that using double backslashes solves the problem in the parameters list.
I was fooled by the whole bat file, because in the copy commands that bring the roms to the XRoar folder
I use single backslashes to create the full path, and it works ...
But on the xroar command, clearly, another rules are applied :-(

I see the problem... I'd not flagged "-lp-file" as taking a filename.

New snapshots!

HI Ciaran ...
don't kill me! I have modified some 30-40 bat files :-(
No worries, I will restore them from a backup!
thanks a lot

Hello Ciaran,
It seems that the last snapshot for Dragon is 0.36.185 dated 2020-06-15
Have you planned to upload a new snapshot so that we could keep on using the old bats that contain filenames for the -lp-file?
thanks in advance
cheers

Oh, weird! I could have sworn I pushed a new snapshot just before I wrote that message. Er, rectified :)

Hi, Ciaran

Thanks a lot
