Re: [GHC] #739: command-line expressions with double-quoted strings misinterpret some special symbols

 

Hi,

 

 

I am running GHC on a windows XP platform.

The bug i did report has nothing to do with java.

 

Yes I found the problem while running a java program,

but then i did try  to execute
   ghc -e "reverse \"2<3\""
directly on a command line,

 and i get a message like

"the system can't find the specified file"

 

If try

   ghc -e "reverse \"2^3\""

then i get

"32"

 

 

If you think its's worth i can rewrite

these examples as a new bug.

Comment:

Discussion on the mailing list indicates that you were trying to do this
from Java, and the problem is a result of the Java exec interface not
understanding quoting (perhaps).

The examples you give work fine from a /bin/sh command line on Linux or
Windows.

If you can provide a more specific example that fails, please re-open the
bug.
