Bigger operator (>) shows up when I enter arguments in terminal
2
I found that it happens because it splits entered arguments. But I am creating a program that encrypts string and it encrypted "test" as |m{|. But when I switch to decryption mode that thing happens. Any solution ?

The > comes from bash's $PS2 variable. man bash says:
PS2 The value of this parameter is expanded as with PS1 and used as the secondary prompt string. The default is ``> ''.
I often see > when I have an unmatched quote (") or apostrophe ('), or some other input that bash views as incomplete.

@StelTeam I believe terminal is waiting for you to enter}. What's wrong if it is enter within double quotes? I think it is just a filename. Isn't it?

@Kulfy The string |m{| is the encrypted version of "test". so the program must take |m{| as an argument in order to decrypt it as "test"

... if you enter"|m{|"'|m{|'in the shell as an argument to your program, your program will not see the quotes (they will simply prevent the shell from trying to interpret the sequence)
