Hi Ketan.

Please try quotation marks to enclose any parameter containing spaces in the tool command template - eg something like:

python myscript.py "$text_with_spaces" $param2 $param3....

Please confirm that this solves the problem?

Hi,

My tool in galaxy accepts text argument which can have zero or more spaces depending on user requirements. When user inputs one word it is parsed fine but in the case when user inputs more words separated by space it results in multiple separate arguments which messes with the way I am treating commandline args in my script. Is it possible to tell Galaxy to treat textbox as a single argument irrespective of spaces in the values provided?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Best,
