KMVAR and quotes

[carycrusiau]

Hi there,

I use ImageMagick through 'Execute Shell Script' to generate text image.

If I put convert label:'José Grandmont', here is my image:

If I put 'José Grandmont' in a variable and then use this variable in the script convert label:"$KMVAR_Name", here is my image:

The accented characters are not recognised.

With convert label:'$KMVAR_Name', here is my image:

convert label:'"'"$KMVAR_Name"'"'

…

Any help?

Thanks!

Note how the accent is removed from the variable name in the error. It’s probably possible somehow with t…

I had seen the topic when I made a search but I had missed the right answer…
