Using & in variables in filters about qlik-cli-windows HOT 4 CLOSED

The issue is that Copy-QlikApp is not encoding the name before sending the request to the API, it's fine for the filter as this is correctly encoded. As a workaround you should be able to use %26 in place of &.

from qlik-cli-windows.

The issue is that the %26 is being passed to the filter and being encoded a second time, I have now updated the copy command to correctly encode the name so you can use & and it will be encoded automatically.

Thanks. I've tried it but to no avail:

$apps = 'This Extract','This %26 That Extract'

foreach ($app in $apps)
{	
	echo "Processing: $app"
	copy-qlikapp -id (get-qlikapp -filter "stream.name eq 'Extract' and name eq '$app'").id -name "$app COPY"
}

I've also tried double quotes when listing the app names. I'm not a PS expert so I'm not sure how it interprets that... but still I just get errors.

Thanks - I'd renamed my apps to avoid this, so can't easily test now, but thanks for resolving.
