Duncan Jones commented on LANG-948:
-----------------------------------

I think the problem lies with the {{appendQuotedString}} method, however I'm 
struggling to fix it because I'm not 100% sure what that method should be doing.

I propose that we make that method static and package-private, so we can unit 
test it in isolation. (It probably should be static anyway, as it uses no 
instance fields). My confusion is about the desired effect of the 
{{escapingOn}} attribute. I'm assuming that when it's {{true}}, two single 
quotes next to each other are treated as an escaped single quote, and the 
resulting string pushed onto the buffer should have un-escaped quotes. 
Conversely, when it's {{false}}, two singles quotes are treated as a quoted 
string of zero length.

>From these assumptions, I've created this little unit test:

{code:java}
@Test
public void testAppendQuotedString() throws Exception {
    assertEquals("'test'", readFirstQuotedString("''test''123", true));
    assertEquals("'test'", readFirstQuotedString("'test'123", true));
    assertEquals("", readFirstQuotedString("''test''123", false));
}

private static String readFirstQuotedString(String input, boolean escapingOn) {
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    ExtendedMessageFormat.appendQuotedString(input, new ParsePosition(0), 
builder, escapingOn);
    return builder.toString();
}
{code}

Note: these tests currently fail.

If someone can confirm (or correct) my understanding, I can fix the method and 
hopefully this bug.
