This module manipulates strings according to the word parsing rules of the UNIX Bourne shell.
The shellwords() function was originally a port of shellwords.pl,
but modified to conform to the Shell & Utilities volume of the IEEE
Std 1003.1-2008, 2016 Edition.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'shellwords'And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install shellwords
require 'shellwords'
argv = Shellwords.split('three blind "mice"')
argv #=> ["three", "blind", "mice"]After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
