Summary0000142: -mod flag bug (and probably any other string-taking flags)
Description"-mod tbp -tablecrcs" fails to initate mod but "-tablecrcs -mod tbp" works

this is due to the fact that if "-mod [name]" isn't the last one the name get's trailing whitespace -- this causes it not to work
Steps To Reproduceuse mod without it being the last flag

I take it this is a fs2_open rather than a launcher string handling issue?

If so as you have already pointed out the current command line parsing system is fairly ropey. Could do with making it work exactly like argv, argc stuff.

If anyone rewrites the command line code please fix is so a '-' is ignored if its between a par of "'s.

Because: -start_mission "M01-rt01.fs2"

That is the format of many fs2 mission names.
The current command line system sees the -rt01.fs2" as a command.

It should work exactly the same way as standard argv, argc
