Big issue with Verbatim searches

Post by eddielp123 »

So I'm trying to do a scrape action that searches for verbatim results

(eg: search for "my new song" instead of my new song without the "" to get verbatim results)

The issue is that when i don't put the "" in the search it will also scrape tweets such as:
oh my god this new taylor swift song is amazing"
while im only trying to scrape tweets like this:
check out my new song
Now the issue is that Twitterdub cannot create the TXT file with the results because of the "" characters for the search - it will give some error about an illegal character in the path.

I submitted logs for a better understanding - ID 48733

working fine here, the search term is fixed to make it valid for a filename.

Can you explain how you build your search / what exact search you are performing. It could be a special search that isn't passing through this function - although all my tests are
