Sun N1 Service Provisioning System 6.0 Release Notes

Windows: Backslash Character (\) Escapes Quotation Marks (”) at End of Paths (6347121)

If you include a backslash character (\) at the end of a Microsoft Windows path, and immediately before a quotation mark (”) in an argument with the N1 SPS command line interface, the command might fail. For example, review the following command.


>a.exe "C:\ab\cd\" -dst

C:\ab\cd\ -dst is interpreted as a single argument instead of the separate C:\ab\cd\ and -dst. This issue occurs because the backslash escapes the second quotation mark, creating a CLI syntax error.

Workaround: Omit trailing backslash characters from the end of Microsoft Windows paths with the N1 SPS CLI.
