Which OS(es) are you targetting? Different OSes handle quotes and slashes in quite different ways. CLI expects to be passed the argument list from the OS, and it is Java that splits up the initial command-line after it has been processed by the OS. So are you looking to emulate that? In which case, perhaps the Harmony project has some code that will do what you want. There's another set of problems to be solved if you want to generate command-lines for Runtime.exec(), because you may need to protect against variable interpolation by the OS. > If, as it seems, X doesn't exist in CLI, then it's not a matter of X > differing from CLI so much as X complementing CLI and, I think, possibly > being a useful addition to CLI.
