Class ArgScanner

java.lang.Object
  org.wurbelizer.ArgScanner

public class ArgScanner
extends Object

Utility class to scan for arguments and to do variable translation.

Arguments usually are separated by whitespaces. However, sometimes arguments must include whitespaces, i.e. must be quoted. There are two kinds quotes:

double-quotes like @{code "test: $remote == --remote"}. The $remote will be translated. A single-quote in a double-quoted string is allowed.

single-quotes like @{code --orderby='" ORDER BY " + FIELD_ID + " DESC"'}. No translation will take place and such args may contain double-quotes.

Double-quotes in a double-quoted string must be quoted with a backslash. Same is true for single-quotes in a single quoted string. A backslash is written as \\.

Notice that variable translation takes place after the arguments have been separated. Thus, a variable may contain quotes and these quotes need not be escaped.
