Hello. I've been looking for a method to parse a command-line string into an string-array (for use with commons CLI, Runtime.exec(), etc.) I haven't been able to find one in commons CLI. So my questions are:
a) Is there a method in the commons (CLI or elsewhere) that does this, that I have missed? b) If not, might such a method be a welcome addition to the commons? (because I have such a method right here, lifted from Eclipse.) This need arises from a part of my application where the user can enter a command line into a GUI text field, which needs to be able to handle arguments with spaces via quotes, escaped quotes, etc. I ended up using some code lifted from Eclipse, which corresponds to what happens to the strings entered in the Run dialog > Java application > Arguments tab before a process is launched (since, obviously, the user-entered command-line string needs to be converted into a string-array somehow.)
