Summary:                    PurifyPlus 7.0.1-003 cannot properly interpret
SAVETEXTDATA command line switch due to quotation marks
Description: 
PROBLEM:
----------------------------

This started with PurifyPlus 7.0.1-003 - PurifyPlus 7.0.0 did not show such
behaviour. The solution should however work for both

CTest 2.8.3 memchecker produces on Windows the following command line to execute
Purify (extracted from my logs):

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe
"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"
"D:/MyBinDir/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"

When executing this Purify 7.0.1-003 complains the following way:

Unable to find file
/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log.


The reason is the command line /SAVETEXTDATA=... is wrapped in quotation marks

"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" 

the problem does not occur when changing the command line by shift the quotation
mark after the equal sign:

/SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" 

SOLUTION:
----------------------------
use 

/SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" 

instead of 

"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" 

i.e. 

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe
/SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"
"D:/MyBinFolder/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"

Steps to Reproduce: 
Execute PurifyPlus 7.0.1-003 

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe
"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"
"D:/MyBinFolder/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"

and try again with 

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe
/SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"
"D:/MyBinFolder/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"

Additional Information: 
>From the CTest logs:


Memory check command: C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe
"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"

149: MemCheck command: C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe
"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"
"D:/MyBinDir/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"
