I have a simple program which merely echoes the command line to the screen:
X.COMMAND = @SENTENCE
CRT 'X.COMMAND ':X.COMMAND
If I run the program with a literal string on the command line and that string
happens to contain a quoted string containing the word THEN surrounded
by spaces, the prompted field sometimes gets surrounded by pairs of single
quotes:
RUN LOCAL.SOURCE DAVE FIELD1 '<<WHAT>>' FIELD2 ' THEN ' FIELD3
WHAT ABC
X.COMMAND RUN LOCAL.SOURCE DAVE FIELD1 ''ABC'' FIELD2 ' THEN ' FIELD3
If I change the order of the strings on the command line, I get the single
quotes
that I expect rather than pairs of single quotes:
RUN LOCAL.SOURCE DAVE FIELD1 ' THEN ' FIELD2 '<<WHAT>>' FIELD3
WHAT ABC
X.COMMAND RUN LOCAL.SOURCE DAVE FIELD1 ' THEN ' FIELD2 'ABC' FIELD3
I am seeing this behavior in Unidata 7.1 on Linux and Unidata 7.2 (personal
edition) on
Windows.
Is there any way to keep Unidata from doubling the quotes?
