title: Semicolon on command line in linux
body: <p>i am running my application in linux by providing inputs as command line. My input field contain an argument which contains ";"(semicolon) internally.(For example:123;434;5464). 
  This will be parsed using UTF8String encode and send. 
  But when i am using like this, in initial itself i am getting,</p>
  
  <pre><code> bash: 434: command not found
   bash: 5464: command not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And when i capture traffic the output contains only 123 instead 123;434;5464
  But if i give without semicolon (Ex:123:434:5464),not getting any problem output coming properly as 123:434:5464</p>
  
  <p>Point me how to give command line input by using semicolon as to come output. Is there any particular syntax to use while doing with semicolon.
  I am running like below</p>
  
  <pre><code>./runASR.sh -ip 10.78.242.4 -port 3868 -sce 10.78.241.206 -id 85;167838865;1385433280
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where -id field contain that value with issue.</p>
