T,
Sorry (newbie, remember). For the first question that did not have backslash
double-quotes:
my ($x, @y);
$x = 'ls -al "Program Files" "Moe Curly Larry"';
@y = $x ~~ m:global/ [ '"' <-[ " ]> * '"' | \S+ ] /;
for @y -> $match { say ~$match; }
Don't know about the second question with backslash double-quotes.
Mark

It kinda, sorta doesn't work:
<code>
$ cat ./QuoteArrayTest.pl6
#! /usr/bin/env perl6
use strict;
print "\n";
my $x = 'ls -al \"Program Files\" \"Moe Curly Larry\"'; my @y =~($x ~~
m:global/ [ '"' <-[ " ]> * '"' | \S+ ] /); say "$x\n\@y:";
for @y.kv -> $index, $value { say "\$y[$index] = <$value>"; } print "\n";
</code>
ls -al \"Program Files\" \"Moe Curly Larry\"
@y:
$y[0] = <ls -al \"Program Files\" \"Moe Curly Larry\">
What did I do wrong?
