Torsten,
there is the issue of passing one (1) argument though cmd.exe even when it
contains spaces. This is achieved by quoting with "...". The contents of this
string (as seen by cleartool, after the command processor has removed the
outer level of quoting) should be a string, again surrounded by quotes.
Clearly, one cannot write ""a b c"", so the *inner* quotes have to be
protected, and this is done by prefixing them with '\'. So:
clearcase mkattr test "\"a & b --> c\"" test.txt
Regards,
-Wolfgang
