In a control section, how do I assign a string to
a variable when the string contains ':' (or any other
"list" character)?
In this case, I was using a URL:
control:
myvar = ( ftp://name:passwd@site/some/dir/on/site )
I tried using " (double-quote), ' (single-quote),
and escaping the ":" with back-slash; nothing worked.
I use the ":" in other places as an actual list separator
(such as using $PATH!) so I don't want to just change it.
Besides, that doesn't answer the question: how do you
remove the meaning of the list separator character in
a string?
