Command Parsers

 Note: This is an advanced feature.

In an MS Windows platform, when D&Do executes the program with its arguments; the program recognizes (parses) its arguments the way it is expected. There is no need for an explicit command parser. In a Linux (and probably in a UNIX) platform, when D&Do executes the program with its arguments; the program does not properly handle the presence of double quotation marks within an argument. D&Do provides various explicit command line parsers to help resolve this problem. By default, D&Do uses the implicit command parser.

The explicit parser is identified by a digit, you specifies which parser through the metascript parameter PARS (See note). Here are the available parsers.

Other explicit parsers might be added later.

Note: PARS accepts also the character 'x' as its value. This means that D&Do will use the "most convenient" parser, that is: use the implicit parser on the Windows platform and use the parser 0 on the Linux platform. This is the recommended setting.
