Exomizer problems on mac os?

Hi to all!
Do you guys encounter strange behaviour of exomizer on mac os (intel)?
I use this command:
./exomizer.exe sfx basic main.prg -s"lda #$01 sta $d021" -o test.prg

causes exomizer to stop with this message:
line 864, syntax error, unexpected STA
Parse failure.

this command:
./exomizer.exe sfx basic main.prg -x "lda #$01 sta $d021" -o test.prg
gives:
line 1290, syntax error, unexpected STA
Parse failure.

Both commands work OK on Windows.
Exomizer compiled on mac os without any warnings or errors. What do I do wrong? or is it mac os version issue?
TIA


[edit]
I get these messages with exo 3.0.2
3.1.1 stops as well but with:
line 1434, syntax error
Parse failure

[edit2]
It's the quotes.... XD
Thanks Trap!

make sure to disable "Use smart quotes and dashes" in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text. Otherwise, macOS will happily convert your quotes in the shell to start and end quotes, which will confuse most commandline tools.

Yeah, no, Terminal does not convert to smart quotes — it would cause mayhem if it did that. Other apps do though, like TextEdit.app. And of course if you paste smart quotes they are preserved.

That makes slightly more sense :)

Ah indeed, I thought it would happen even in the shell. Turns out I stumbled across it when writing Vice command files and shell scripts in an editor. Still I think it is a good idea to turn it off.

You need to use a better editor…

Also the VICE monitor does it (at least used to) which is highly annoying. :) I'm sure just sending a hint to the widget will disable that insane behaviour.

Yeah sadly apps have to opt out of smart quotes, instead of making it opt in.

Seems quite sensible, tbh. Most users use to type in stuff that needs to look pretty, not be interpreted by a machine. That said, do they fix ghastly not-quite-apostrophe´s?

Dali V0.1

Just in case you want to try salvador on c64, wrote a wrapper with a bunch of features to make proper use of it on 6502/c64.
