Escaping Quotation Marks in Project Post-Link Command

Hi,

I am using Crossworks V2.0.5, and need to execute a post-build command for my project.  In my particular case, this is a call to gcc strip.

This command line needs to have quotation marks in it (otherwise strip complains about a particular wildcard symbol specification -K "aux_*").

But it seems that CrossWorks strips out any quotation marks when it does its macro expansion of the post-link command.

I haven't been able to find any documentation on the macro expansion rules, and have tried some obvious escaping ideas, eg double quotation marks - but to no avail.

Is there an escape code I can use to get quotation marks (") in the command that is actually executed.

Thanks

Sandy

  CrossWorks uses the backslash character for escaping, just like C/C++. Have you tried \" ?
