Thanks for the example, though my question was in the case in which the extra
quotes were not included by the app.
For example,
ProcessBuilder("java.exe", "-classpath", "C:\\New folder\", "Test",
"test");
I thought the troublesome case was specific to VB/WScript being invoked with
".exe" quoting but WSCRIPT interpreting the command line string using simple
quoting with no escapes.

@RogerRiggs
Our use case was something like this `java -classpath "C:\Program
Files\MySQL\JDBC\" ...`. More specifically, while this works after JDK-8250568
(the string ends with `"`)
ProcessBuilder("java.exe", "-classpath", ""C:\\New folder"", "Test",
"test");
this doesn't and, as I understand, shouldn't (the string ends with `"`):
ProcessBuilder("java.exe", "-classpath", ""C:\\New folder\\"", "Test",
"test");
and produces errors like these
Error: Could not find or load main class folder"" Test test
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: folder"" Test test
However, the following still doesn't work, but, I believe, should (the string
ends with `\"`):
ProcessBuilder("java.exe", "-classpath", ""C:\\New folder"", "Test",
"test");

(I'm still working on a more nuanced fix that works with .exe, .cmd, and with
allowAmbiguousCommands both true and false).
The suggested workaround was to remove the application quotes and let
ProcessBuilder do the quoting.
That resulted in an extra backslash "\" at the end of a file path. In my
investigation, the extra "\" doesn't prevent the
string from being correctly used as a directory path in either VisualBasic or
cmd.exe.
So I'm curious, in the original application that uncovered this problem, what
is/was reported as the error?
Was the original application retested with the workaround?
The case of the backslash at the end of an argument occurs mainly in a
directory path.
Yes, the argument is different, but does it make a difference that matters in
the context in which it appears.

Actually, this change should be made even more generic because the string might
end with any even number of the backslash characters followed by a
free-standing quote, in which case additional quoting should not be required.

It is apparent there is no one "correct" way to quote, but one of the key
features of the Java ecosystem has been its backwards compatibility. In that
light, this change allows our clients to continue doing what they did the way
they did it without the need for modification of their Java code or their
(maybe even foreign) native code. FWIW.
Separately from the above, I wonder if this change would make the fix less
controversial?
-if (str.endsWith("\\"")) {
+if (str.endsWith("\\"") && !str.endsWith(""")) {
This way we verify that the end quote is really just an escaped quote, while
correctly identifying escaped backslash as having nothing to do with the
following quote.

Re: RFR: 8282008: Incorrect handling of quoted arguments in ProcessBuilder [v3]
Hi,
as far as I know, on Windows every program can obtain the lpCommandLine
argument, used in the call of CreateProcess() from its parent, by
calling GetCommandLine() and parse that string as it sees fit. This is
in stark contrast with how Unix-like systems create and execute
programs, where the system call execve(2) accepts an array of arguments,
not a single command line.
There are no fixed rules on how to parse the command line, as witnessed
by the different strategies implemented in the C/C++ runtime (which
splits the command line according to the rules outlined in [1] to
populate the argv[] array in main()), the cmd.exe shell, the wscript.exe
runtime, etc.
Consequently, there are no fixed rules on how to encode a command line
(specifically, the lpCommandLine argument to CreateProcess()) because it
really is up to the invoked program to parse it, whether explicitly or
implicitly, according to its own, directly or indirectly implemented
rules. Even a C/C++ console program could ignore the result that the
runtime automatically provides in argv[] and parse the command line
directly, as obtained by GetCommandLine().
Without knowing the parsing rules of the target program, it is not
possible to encode a command line correctly for CreateProcess(). I doubt
there's a "common denominator" which would cover most cases encountered
in practice.
The best we can hope is to implement encoders (and decoders) for
specific, widely used runtimes. (BTW, for the C/C++ runtime I prepared
an implementation mentioned in [2].)

For example, it's needed to execute the following command on Windows:
`C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WScript.exe "MyVB.vbs" "C:\Program Files\Git" "Test"`
it's equal to:
`new ProcessBuilder("C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\WScript.exe", "MyVB.vbs", ""C:\\Program

private static String unQuote(String str) {
..
if (str.endsWith("\\"")) {
return str;// not properly quoted, treat as unquoted

..
}
that leads to the additional surrounding by quotes in
ProcessImpl::createCommandLine(..) because needsEscaping(..) returns true due
to the space inside the string argument.
As a result the native function CreateProcessW
(src/java.base/windows/native/libjava/ProcessImpl_md.c) gets the incorrectly
quoted argument:
pcmd = C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WScript.exe MyVB.vbs ""C:\Program Files\Git"" Test

pcmd = "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WScript.exe" MyVB.vbs ""C:\Program Files\Git\\""
Test
(jdk.lang.Process.allowAmbiguousCommands = false)
Obviously, a string ending with `"\\""` must not be started with `"""` to treat
as unquoted overwise it’s should be treated as properly quoted.

Reading the code of unQuote() in terms of logic: "no beginning or ending quote,
or too short => not quoted", - and it seems that if all these conditions are
just opposite (starting and ending quotes and long enough) then a string should
be treated as quoted but it's not. One exception was added and it's strange
that it's applied even in case of paired quotes. Is it truly necessary for the
security fix to skip (=to treat as unquoted) a string starting and ending with
`'"'` in case of a `"\\""` tail?
This proposed fix returns back possibility (as was previously) to use
surrounding with `'"'` as an argument mark-up that allows to pass correctly a
path with a space inside in case of VBS. Roger, would you be so kind to take a
look at this small fix once again, please, and to pay attention to VBS parsing
arguments problem?!

Please close this PR; the proposed change to the application should resolve the

ProcessBuilder handles the quoting of arguments with spaces.
In your QuotedArguments.java, just remove the quotes from the first argument to
CheckCase:
```CheckCase[] cases = {
new CheckCase("C:\\Program Files\\Git\", "C:\\Program
Files\\Git\", "true"),
new CheckCase("C:\\Program Files\\Git\", "C:\\Program
Files\\Git\", "false")
};
That worked for me using openjdk version "17.0.2".
Problems with knowing what and if to quote go back a long time.
I'm working on a new [JEP](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8263697) to
handle more of the cases without application intervention.

Roger, thanks for your comments! But in this case how it is possible to present
a path ending with '\' and including a space inside?
