zmmailbox and spaces in folder names

[badrian]

Running ZCS Open Source Edition, v4.5

I'm working on a (BASH shell) script to iterate through a user's mailbox folder tree, and am running into a problem with folders containing spaces in the name. My syntax is as follows:

#zmmailbox -z -m $ACCOUNT search -l 10 "in:$cof"

Where "$ACCOUNT" is the user mailbox, and "$cof" is the variable containing the folder name

The command works fine with folder names containing no spaces, but when the variable contains a space zmmailbox treats the space as the end of the value. As an example, in the case of the variable "$cof" expanding to "/Classroom/session 1":

#zmmailbox -z -m user@domain search "in:/Classroom/session 1"

The result returned is:

#ERROR: mail.NO_SUCH_FOLDER (no such folder path: /Classroom/session)

I've tried the standard UNIX/Linux trick of using a backslash preceding spaces, and have tried all manner of quotes around the folder names. Am I missing something really simple here?... any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting. Backslash escaping the spaces, or using either single or double quotes works for -other- zmmailbox commands (like gfg), but not for search, it appears.

[zimbra@nepenthes ~]$ zmmailbox -z -m bevan gfg /Schooner Room
usage:

getFolderGrant(gfg) [opts] {folder-path}
-v/--verbose verbose output

[zimbra@nepenthes ~]$ zmmailbox -z -m bevan gfg /Schooner\ Room

[zimbra@nepenthes ~]$ zmmailbox -z -m bevan gfg '/Schooner Room'

[zimbra@nepenthes ~]$ zmmailbox -z -m bevan gfg "/Schooner Room"
Inherit Permissions Type Display
------- ----------- ------ -------
[zimbra@nepenthes ~]$ zmmailbox -z -m bevan gfg '/Schooner\ Room'
ERROR: zclient.CLIENT_ERROR (unknown folder: /Schooner\ Room)

A little fiddling says that the follwing may actually work (I'd need confirmation, since I currently don't have any data in these folders to search for...)

zmmailbox -z -m USER search 'in:"/A Folder" 1'

Oddly, the following definitely does not work:

zmmailbox -z -m USER search "in:'/A Folder' 1"

Bevan:

Your suggestion of this syntax seems to be just the thing:

zmmailbox -z -m USER search 'in:"/A Folder" 1'

Preliminary testing suggests it works perfectly -- I've got a script which will be making use of this, so I will have an opportunity to fully test it shortly.

Thanks for the assistance!
