Issue with command line arguments
#1
So I'm having issues with my program command line arguments. In pycharm on windows it works great but when I go to linux it only takes arguments up to the first semicolon ";" and then pretends nothing exists beyond it.

My code:

inputs = []
for arg in sys.argv:
    inputs.append(arg)
then I call inputs.pop(0) to get what I need.

sample input is something like this:

load-policy sample.txt; add-attributes-to-permission PW role Student; check-permission Josie GradesFile ENV PW

In linux I run my file:

ABAC_engine.py load-policy sample.txt; add-attributes-to-permission PW role Student; check-permission Josie GradesFile ENV PW


and I have it print out everything saved in inputs....it only saves the first bit up until sample.txt (I'm supposing because of the semicolon)

Please help! Thank you!
