Document Windows restrictions on passing quoted strings at command line
For example, under Windows the invocation
dynare sw2007nw_dsge -Ddatafile_name='"data94q1.mat"'
is cut down to
Calling Dynare with arguments: -Ddatafile_name="data94q1.mat"
i.e. the second layer of quoted strings is lost. The most robust workaround is to handle the strings at the mod-file level, e.g.
estimation(datafile='@{datafile_name}')
instead of trying to have the quote in the datafile_name
.
