Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2002-11-13 11:32:06 UTC
Problem here is e.g. the " after TRANSLEIS
'TRANSLEIS"', '*', '"286642904"'

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2002-11-13 12:47:46 UTC
Well, the original would have been:

"OPTIM 05 TRANSLEIS"

The errant code is here (ConfPAP.py):

        var = Conf.Conf.getfields(self)
        if len(var[0]) and var[0][0] in '\'"':
            # found quote; strip from beginning and end
            quote = var[0][0]
            var[0] = var[0][1:]

Obviously this assumes that there are no IFS chars in the quoted field.

Should have used wordexp.. :-P

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2002-11-13 12:59:49 UTC
ah oh... code stolen from Conf.py :)
