Command line parsing changed in VW 7.10

Cincom

Why did you change the command line parsing in VW 7.10?

If I have a command line like;

vwnt.exe -=myImage.im  “-myParam=34,c:\data\subdir\” “-another=ok”

in VW 7.9 when I do CEnvironment commandLine I see;

#(‘vwnt.exe’ ‘-=myImage.im’ ‘-myParam=34,c:\data\subdir\’ ‘-another=ok’) ,

a 4 element array.

However, in vw 7.10 I see;

#(‘vwnt.exe’ ‘-=myImage.im’ ‘-myParam=34,c:\data\subdir” -another=ok’) ,

a 3 element array.

If I change …subdir\ to …subdir\\ I get;

#(‘vwnt.exe’ ‘-=myImage.im’ ‘-myParam=34,c:\data\subdir\’ ‘-another=ok’) ,

back to a 4 element array.

It looks like the ‘\’ character is some kind of escape character or continuation character.

But there is no documentation about this change!!
