[GHC] #739: command-line expressions with double-quoted strings misinterpret some special symbols

[Pedro Miguel Duarte]

Hi,


I am running GHC on a windows XP platform.
The bug i did report has nothing to do with java.

Yes I found the problem while running a java program,
but then i did try  to execute
   ghc -e "reverse \"2<3\""
directly on a command line,
 and i get a message like
"the system can't find the specified file"

If try
   ghc -e "reverse \"2^3\""
then i get
"32"


If you think its's worth i can rewrite
these examples as a new bug.


pedro
