#1112: simfactory's option parser terminates option values on ";" -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: rhaas | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Comment (by rhaas):
Beginning of the line would work for me. Or the possibility of escaping the semicolon. Not being able to enter it at all makes certain bash command lines awkward.
I attach a a patch. Additionally we might also consider allowing for '#' to be escaped (if we ever find ourself in a situation where one needs '#' as part of an option value), eg. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1706198/python-how-to-ignore-comment- lines-when-reading-in-a-file
