            Bug ID: 44441
           Summary: for loop reading a file strips out double quotes and
                    then equals
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.8.5
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cmd

test batch file, test.txt, results for Windows and Wine

My batch file has this for loop that reads a line at a time.
FOR /F "eol=# tokens=2 delims=;" %%i in (%tasklist%) do call :%%i

It feeds everything after the semicolon to a called function that is at the
start of the line.
The full line is like this:
comment area     ;xslt xsltname "param1=info1 param2=info2" blank.xml
dostuff.xslt

Windows passes exactly that to the called function xslt.

But Wine cmd does two unexpected things.

First it strips out the double quotes. But when the params are received by the
receiving function in this case :xslt then the equals are also stripped out.

Thus the received params are:
%~0 = :xslt
%~1 = xsltname
%~2 = param1
%~3 = info1
%~4 = param2
%~5 = info2
%~6 = blank.xml
%~7 = dostuff.xslt

While Windows would have the params as:
%~0 = :xslt
%~1 = xsltname
%~2 = param1=info1 param2=info2
%~3 = blank.xml
%~4 = dostuff.xslt

As it is reading a text file there is nothing I can do to pre manipulate the
text file.

I can see that striping out the equals is a good thing at times but I don't
want that here.

Is this fixable by configuration? Or is it a bug?

Ian
