Re: Subject: + character in a command line argument

Thanks for the try! No, I did not up to now. Unfortunately, the result of the test is that this is taken as face value (the 3 characters). However, % has indeed some syntactic use: it is an escape for the double quote (%" yields a double quote, and no split), and for itslef (%% yields %), but not for antislash. In-between, I found that antislash is an escape for the double quote, but not for % or \. \2b is seen as the three characters... Still nothing to escape the +... This is really weird! I can't believe that this is specified nowhere! For DOS command lines, or Windows command line, I found 10's of sites listing the commands, but never the basic syntax!
