Emmanuel Bourg commented on CLI-180:
------------------------------------
That was on the command line or in a shell script? What is your OS?
On Windows the argument must be surrounded with double quotes. On Unix you can
use simple quotes, double quotes, or escape the space with a backslash.
> arguments with spaces parsed as individual arguments

> Key: CLI-180
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-180
> Project: Commons CLI
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parser
> Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.2
> Reporter: Marius Scurtescu
>
> If an argument contains a space then the part after the space is treated as
> another argument and you end up with an invalid argument error.
> Tried many things to escape the space: double quotes around the argument
> value, backslash before the space, short and long forms, etc. Nothing is
> working.
