Class Method Details

.split_with_quotes(str) ⇒ <String>

Similar to @Shellwords.split@, but attempts to include quotes in the returned array for strings containing spaces.

Since it’s impossible to find out from the output of @Shellwords#split@ whether a string was quoted with signle or double quotes, the following approach is taken: if the string contains double quotes, it’s sourrounded with single quotes; otherwise double quotes are used.

TODO: improve on the above algorithm. whitespaces quoted according to the above algorithm

Parameters:

  • str (String) —

    the string to split

Returns:

  • (<String>) —

    an array as with @Shellwords#split@ but with strings containing
