[MC-33071] "Data tag parsing failed: Unbalanced quotation" when parsing strings with semicolons.

/give command with data tag specified seems to fail at handling strings which contain semicolon, resulting in error "Data tag parsing failed: Unbalanced quotation"
Looks like semicolon has higher priority than quote during the parsing.

This looks like an improperly formatted string for a book, as the correct NBT formatting would be

{tag:{pages:["Fail: here"]}}

Please reopen the issue. Also, please explain why was it marked as invalid.

It's invalid because it no longer is a problem with 1.7.4. Try

/give @p minecraft:written_book 1 0 {tag:{pages:["Fail: here"]}}

It is not the correct way to write a book. And it does not work anyway because of the same issue. Please try something yourself before proposing as a resolution.

It is the proper way, check the written book tag. Unless I am mistaken that the root tag here is not '' but 'tag'.

This bug has been fixed, just tested. Use the command:

/give @p minecraft:written_book 1 0 {pages:["Fix: here"]}

Fixed in 1.7.4 or 14w02/03 ?

kenzierocks 2014-01-16T19:28:53Z

Fixed in 14w02c, just tested.
