Syntax for the path - clarification

[ajtruckle]

Hi

I used:

file -c".\TheFile.xml"

It was fine.

I tried:

file -c=".\TheFile.xml"

Not what I expected. I thought it would strip the = character. Is that right?

It seems that -- options can use a = or a space character but - options must use no character or a space.

--createevents="file.xml"
--createevents "file.xml"
-c"file.xml"
-c "file.xml"
