Slashes within quotes, and batch commands such as echo, are handled differently in singleline and multiline Shell/Batch Command
We think the behavior should be changed to never delete the slashes and to always handle non-exe batch commands (as in the multiline case). It looks like the behavior was added to be syntactic sugar that makes single line shell/batch commands handle commands with spaces in them, but so far I haven’t thought of a way to implement that robustly.
We have a workaround (adding comments to make all Shell/Batch Command steps multiline).
With a batch script that takes up a single line:
[list]
Batch commands such as echo or rmdir are not valid (they give an “Unrecognized command” error)
[list]
Slashes within quotes remain untouched[/*:m]
