vshlex

use "stdlib/shlex.ven"

Shell style tokenizing and quoting, splitting a command line into its words the way a shell would and quoting a word safely for reuse in one, built on Venutian's own shell splitting builtin. It is meant for a program that has to build or read a command line safely, without writing its own quoting rules by hand.

print split("cp -v 'my file.txt' /tmp")

split("cp -v 'my file.txt' /tmp")

quote("it's a test")

join(["cp", "-v", "my file.txt", "/tmp"])
