Passing string instead of number to a clojure program throws error

Question

java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello 1)" is working with 1 as a parameter to hello function. java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello "vik")" passing "vik' instead of number is throwing error.

it should work, if I correctly remember... You don't need to eval (use 'user) — Alex Ott

You're not escaping your double quotes on the command line. Also, what happened to the original "question"? — Joost Diepenmaat

Ok, so what is in hello.clj, and what exactly is the error you're getting. — Joost Diepenmaat

You need to escape the quotation marks around vik. the Shell will interpret these before it starts java. java will see this:

 java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello "   vik   ")"

try

 java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e "(hello \"vik\")"

this is still giving error, java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e '(hello "vik")' is working fine. (on windows)

java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main -i "hello.clj" -e '(hello "vik")' for windows, since double quote is conflicting.
