Dustin Cote created CLI-262:
-------------------------------
Summary: 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.
