We don't. All hell breaks loose at this point and always has. The existing
code to split a string up into an argv array is:
char *argv[MAX_ARGV];
string line = command_;
int index = 0;
for (; index < MAX_ARGV-1; ++index) {
string word;
line = split(line, word, ' ');
if (word.empty())
break;
char * tmp = new char[word.length() + 1];
word.copy(tmp, word.length());
tmp[word.length()] = '\0';
argv[index] = tmp;
}
argv[index] = 0;
Ie, we assume that ' ' marks the gap between arguments in the string. To do
this properly requires a fully-formed parser of the sh language. Which
I've written but *am not* proposing to add to LyX 1.3.x.
What we could reasonably do is to modify the above approach so that, if the
word starts with ' then we search for "' " as the end of the word. Ditto
for " quotes. That would work for most cases I think. Including the
LibScriptSearch case.
What do you think?
