---------------------------------
Hi Dustin,
I would like to check whether this issue still exists and fix if it is a bug.
Also, Since I am new to Open source programming, Might expect late response.
If you have documentation on how to run Apache CLI, it would be good starting
point for me to check this too.
> 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.
