Hi Earnie, it does work fine with B20 (just tried it).  It does not work in
the latest cygwin version only when using a variable ($SOURCE).  When the
command is specified directly in the shell script, it works fine.

i.e.

#!/bin/sh
SOURCE="-DPARAM=\"This String\" file.cpp"
icl $SOURCE                                          # This line doesn't
work.
icl -DPARAM="This String" file.cpp                   # This line works fine.


I tried your suggestion of adding double quotes but it does not make a
difference, the space is still a problem.  Oh well, back to B20 I guess,
bummer.  If you find out something related to this problem, please let me
know.

Thanks for your help.

Gerard

I would be really surprised if this worked in B20.  It's always been a
problem.

> #!/bin/sh

Try:
SOURCE="-DPARAM=\"\"\"Stringfirstpart Stringsecondpart\"\"\" file.cpp"
icl $SOURCE

You might also try quoting the space.

Cheers,
