Re: [ferret_users] whitespace within command-line arguments

[Ryo Furue <furue@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ansley,

It uses these to in effect create the Ferret command

  go tmp.jnl hello a b c world

Ah!  Thanks for the clear explanation!  So, 

$ ferret -script tmp.jnl "hello" "a b c" "world"

is (sort of) translated to

yes? go tmp.jnl hello a b c world

Armed with this knowledge, one can deduce what escaping is necessary on the shell command line, which is what I wanted to know.

Regards,

Ryo
