quotes that I want in arguments to main

I am passing arguments to main that include quotes. I WANT the quotes to be passed to main but they seem to disappear (get stripped out). The argument I'm passing is:

<?xml version= "1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <cmrequestor> <CCNoteId>A80XDT </CCNoteId> <CCCaseid>002595062</CCCaseid> <CCProcessTime>2005-03-22 15:52</CCProcessTime>

But when main gets the arguments, they look like this (quotes are missing):

<?xml version= 1.0 encoding= UTF-8 ?> <cmrequestor> <CCNoteId>A80XDT </CCNoteId> <CCCaseid>002595062</CCCaseid> <CCProcessTime>2005-03-22 15:52</CCProcessTime>

Is there any way I can ensure the quotes are kept? Actually, as I'm writing this I just thought about escape characters. Maybe there is an escape sequence \" or "" or something like that?

Yes there are escape sequences. Not sure if they work in main though.

Good Luck

Yes, escaping does work in main - so if you wanted to print out "Hello World" (with the quotes) you would pass the argument like so:

java HelloWorld "\"Hello World\""
