The "typefile" command doesn't escape the chars in the file

[neilpang]

vncdotool --version
vncdotool 1.2.0

I have this example test.txt file to input:

echo hello  >>a.txt

When I use typefile, I got this in the vnc console:

echo  hello  ..a.txt

It seems the > char is not escaped.

what do you think?

What VNC server are you connecting to, Qemu or some other Virtual Machine? if yes, see https://github.com/sibson/vncdotool/issues/269#issuecomment-1696847993

I (or someone) should convert this into a FAQ.
