Illegal character in query: pipe character in file field

[ryan-carpenter]

JabRef version

Other (please describe below)

Operating system

GNU / Linux

Details on version and operating system

No response

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• [x] I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• [x] I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

I think this exception was trigger by searching full text online, which added a URL to the file field. The important part is that a pipe character in the URL raised an exception that recurred until l I killed JabRef and removed the offending URL from the .bib file.

1. Add a URL containing a pipe (|) character to the file field (URLs from GALE ONEFILE, containing the string &docId=GALE|)

JabRef 6.0--2024-09-25--91d0709 Linux 6.9.9-1-default amd64 Java 21.0.2 JavaFX 23+29
