Sebb commented on EXEC-39:
--------------------------
Oops! You're right.
However, as you wrote earlier, you can replace embedded single-quotes with
single-quote backslash single-quote single-quote.
I.e, close the quoted string, add an escaped single-quote, then re-open the
quoted string.
[It's all but impossible to distinguish '' (single-quote*2) from "
(double-quote) visually !]
> StringUtils quoting problems
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: EXEC-39
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-39
> Project: Commons Exec
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Reporter: Sebb
> Assignee: Siegfried Goeschl
> Fix For: 1.1
>
>
> There are various problems in the StringUtils class:
> isQuoted() - does not check that arguments have the same opening and closing
> quotes. This may be a rare case, but it's trivial to fix. There are no test
> cases for the method.
> quoteArgument()
> - does not work properly on Windows, which only treats double-quote as a
> quoting character; it should not fail if a Windows argument contains
> single-quotes, as they are not special.
> - does not quote special Unix characters either
> stringSubstitution() does not document what the characters can constitute a
> key.
