I have a script that uses 'system' to call an external command that has a long
list of arguments. I understand that I can use 'system' with a list of
parameters and arguments the first being the command to call and the following
to be the arguments for the command. I'm wondering though, what I should do if
one of the arguments has parameters of its own.
Suppose I call a command called shredder. With all of the arguments I need it
looks like this
shredder --force --plugin 'Tickets=arg1,desc;arg2,desc;arg3,desc'
I can see that the system call would look like
system("shredder","--force","--plugin"
for the first section there, however, would the last part be
"\'Tickets==arg1,desc;arg2,desc;arg3,desc\'")
or would I have to break those down into separate arguments?
