MOOSE Input Drops Text After Second '='

[elementx54]

---

Issue Description

What did you expect to see happen?

I expected function = 'alpha := total_volume * current_power_density * (1 - tau); beta := tau * current_power_density; alpha * beta' in my moose input file to be parsed to the same thing when it spawned all the jobs.

What did you see instead?

Instead it dropped all the text after the second = putting in the new input file function = 'alpha : causing the run to error.

Do you have a suggested fix for the development team?

I do! Expect a merge request soon. 😃 And it is running now with the fix.

Please attach the input file(s) that generate this error. The simpler the input, the faster we can find the issue.

No email needed since it only crashes if the problem is discovered instead of giving an incorrect value. Approved for development.

Defect is fixed, and not only does the implemented test check the fix, it furthermore checks the entire mechanics for the MOOSE input parser writing. Approved for closure via merging #794.
