Description
Hi,
I am attempting to use codeql.exe with the -c option to specify my build command. My build command has the following format:
**msbuild my_proj.vcxproj /p:configuration="Debug 2019" /p:platform=x64 -t:Clean;Build**
When I try to invoke codeql.exe to create the database using:
**codeql.exe database create codeql_databases\x64_debug_2019 -l=cpp -c="msbuild my_proj.vcxproj /p:configuration="Debug 2019" /p:platform=x64 -t:Clean;Build" -j 0**
I get an error because I have nested quoted strings caused by the "Debug 2019" portion. How can I include a quoted string in the -c portion of the codeql.exe command line? I tried using single quotes on the outer portion but that did not work either.
Thanks
