Summary: Problem with runInSystemShell() and quotes

Initial Comment:
'm trying to write macros to ci and co the current file using rcs, since 

there's no plugin for that. I've never written jEdit macros before but it 

seems pretty easy. Checking out works, but checking in has a problem. 



The script looks like this: 

message = Macros.input(view, "change comment for " + path + ": "); 

if(params == null) 

{ 

   Macros.message(view, "Checkin of " + path + " was cancelled."); 

   return; 

} 

command = "ci -u -m'" + message + "' "+ path; 

Macros.message(view, "Command is [" + command + "]"); 

runInSystemShell(view, command); 



(The message box is for debugging for now) 

When I run it, I get the following in the console: 



> ci -u -m'133' /home/david/data/projects/Windweb/windfaq 

ci: missing message for -m option 

Process ci exited with code 1 



The most likely culprit from what I can see is the single quotes in the 

command, but there's no way around them. I need to pass the entire 

message to ci as one parameter (actuall as part of the -m parameter), 

and I need to make sure the message is not evaluated by the shell.
