try

or


Both will return empty result, where the server does exist.
Allso one runs into problems escaping characters like ) or ( in filters.
Is there any escape character i can use?
Thanks again for your great program!
An idea could be to take the exact string between the "'s and parse that string.
That way escaping could be avoided alltogether, except for ".

uhmmm I don't know if the gamespy master server has a filter for the IP address of the server, but I think not.
the only work-around is identifying the server from its hostname which is the only "pseudo-unique" parameter: -f "(hostname LIKE '%nameoftheserver%')"

Well a problem there is that i've got hostnames containing '(' and the likes :-)

here I have had no problems using a filter with a hostname containing a parenthesis, the server was "catched" without troubles.
anyway in case of doubts take a look on internet about the SQL/databases escape characters (generally is needed to place a '\' before the "problematic" char, I think it's the same in SQL too)

It must have been a silly typo on my side.
Too bad GS itself does not support filtering on server ip/ports. It would be very handy for "favorite server" lists.
The "hostname" workaround seems to work though allthough it's not as clean as filtering by ip/port.

By the way anyone looking to escape a '
this is the way to do it.
gslist -n armedass -f "(hostname='MARSOC''s Condo')" -t -1 -X \hostname\gamever\numplayers\maxplayers\mapname\gametype\gamemode\country\mission\sv_battleye\mod -q

Replace ' by ''

I think you can also use a backslash before it like \'
anyway within some hours (hope minutes) I will release a new beta of gslist where I'm fixing various things (enctypeX in this moment where I have found a bug)

Escaping ' with \
\' does not work. However this may not be a problem of gslist, but of Gamespy itself.
