Build script for poplog command-tool does not handle 'funny' characters #97
Description
If the values of environment variables contain anything other than plain text on a single line, things can go wrong.
- Newlines are not handled properly
- Non-printing characters are not handled properly
- Backslashes are not handled properly (I will solve this one)
This is parked as tech debt because:
- We will sort it out when we transform makePoplogCommander.sh into a Python script and we can see that coming.
- There are no plausible circumstances under which any Poplog environment variable contains a newline.
- It's not cheap to solve and not an active issue.
