Dear Galaxy-gurus,
How can I pass a string with spaces as a parameter from the galaxy interface to a tool that I've written myself in perl? I've tried enclosing the string with quotes (single and double) and various escape characters and all they do is add __dq/sq/X__ to the start of the string and then ignore everything else after the space.
If you trust your users you can add the option name to NEVER_SANITIZE in lib/galaxy/utils/_init_.py
There's probably a better way!
cheers, James
