Executing command with spaces in one of the parts

Question

I am running a command through the os/exec package that is called like this:

out, err := Exec(\"ffprobe -i \'/media/Name of File.mp3\' -show_entries format=dura         


        

Answer 1

Well, I figured it out.

var parts []string
preParts := strings.FieldsFunc(command, f)
for i := range preParts {
    part := preParts[i]
    parts = append(parts, strings.Replace(part, "'", "", -1))
}

I needed to remove the single quotes from the arg passed into the exec.Command function.
