Kalyan commented on CLI-262:
----------------------------
similar problem .. i am also having. can you please consider i suggestion also.
"\"aaaa\"" is given output aaaa, expecting "aaaa"
'"aaaa"' is given output aaaa, expecting "aaaa"
to solve this issue, i am writing like below
"\"\"aaaa\"\"" is given output "aaaa", expecting "aaaa"
reason for this line
https://github.com/apache/commons-cli/blob/trunk/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/cli/Parser.java#L352
> 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.
