Subject: Re: Feature Request - Negative command line switches
Apologies - my first email was sent to you in HTML by mistake, causing
confusion with the first two dashes, but thankfully you saw around it. Copying
your second command (minus the perl):
My emails don't seem to be getting through to the list for some reason, even in
plain text.
So this is FYI - sorry I couldn't be any more help.
My reply to which you were replying and which you quote below doesn't seem to
have appeared in the list either, perhaps because I failed to spot the use of
HTML and convert it to plain text. In what follows, I've tried manually to
restore the quoting order so that the exchange will make more sense to others.

Adding
–no-whitespace

Thanks, but neither of the following work:
–no-whitespace
Apparently treated as a search term ...
perl get_iplayer --type radio --hide -no-whitespace "Bells On
Sunday" -g
... downloads the programmes, but there are spaces in the filenamea.
-–no-whitespace
Apparently treated as an incorrect command-line parameter ...
perl get_iplayer --type radio --hide --no-whitespace "Bells On
Sunday" -g
`... produces the Command-Line Help dump.
BTW, for general information, "Bells On Sunday" is a really good, quick way of
testing GetIPlayer,
because even at my treacle-slow download rates up here in the wilds of
Scotland, each programme
only takes a minute or so to download, and thus it's a good test of the entire
process from start
to finish.

get_iplayer --type radio --hide --no-whitespace "Bells On Sunday" -g
... produced a successful download for me, with underscores instead of spaces
(v3.17 on lubuntu 16.04.5),
so I shall have to bow out here and let someone with more diagnostic capability
help you.
Weird ...
At first it didn't work for me ...
>perl C:\Programs\GetIPlayer\get_iplayer.pl --profile-dir=D:\CEM\GetIPlayer --type
radio --no-whitespace "Bells On Sunday" --hide -g
Unknown option: –
Unknown option: n
Usage ( Also see
https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/documentation ):
[etc]
... but then, looking at the error message above, I wondered if, when copying
the parameter from your mail, I'd copied a strange unicode character instead of
just plain ASCII '-', so I deleted them and retyped them, and now it's working
and the filenames have the original underscores..
So perhaps not so weird after all.
Thanks for your help.
