Sashidharan commented on CLI-262: --------------------------------- Hi Dustin, You mean to say if we give arguments as -option 'command "suboption"' , the output should NOT remove any ending quotes right and O/P will be exactly same as input since it is not having matching quotes at start and end?? > Util.stripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes strips quotes that are unmatched > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CLI-262 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-262 > Project: Commons CLI > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Parser > Reporter: Dustin Cote > Priority: Minor > > Util.stripLeadingAndTrailingQuotes is described as: > {code} > /** > * Remove the leading and trailing quotes from <code>str</code>. > * E.g. if str is '"one two"', then 'one two' is returned. > * > * @param str The string from which the leading and trailing quotes > * should be removed. > * > * @return The string without the leading and trailing quotes. > */ > {code} > However, in cases where you have > {code} > "'one two' > {code} > the returned result is: > {code} > 'one two' > {code} > This leads to unexpected results. For example, an option like: > {code} > -option 'command "suboption"' > {code} > ends up being parsed as: > {code} > command "suboption > {code} > The method should be modified to only strip unmatched quotes or a new method > should be made and added to the API. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
