We need to play around a bit to get " (quotes) to work inside a call to texmfstart. Right now, texmfstart eats the quotes.
How does write18 handle quotes? Right now, on a command prompt this works fine
texmfstart --verbose bin:vim -c "set nu" t-vim.tex
but in a test file texmfstart --verbose bin:vim "-c set nu t-vim.tex"
may work better
\executesystemcommand{texmfstart --verbose bin:vim -c "set nu" t-vim.tex}
gives
system(texmfstart --verbose bin:vim -c "set nu" t-vim.tex)...executed.
Notice that the quotes '..' went missing. How to get this to run. I want texmfstart to run vim as
vim -c "command" file
How do I save these quotes from texmfstart?
