fix-windows-single-quotes

you probably should not use this module, because it cannot always determine the intent, it will likely cause very strange edge cases

tries to interpret command line arguments to fix windows single quote behavior.

if you call a command with 'Hello World' as a command line argument, you would expect the string Hello World to be passed as an argument. On windows you will actual get 'Hello and World' as separate arguments.

node command.js 'Hello World'

this script will attempt to figure out when this is happening, and convert ["'Hello", "World'"] to ["Hello World"]

install

npm i fix-windows-single-quotes

Usage

var fixWindowsSingleQuotes = require('fix-windows-single-quotes');
var argv = fixWindowsSingleQuotes(process.argv.slice(2));
console.log(argv);

Things that this can't catch

single quote inside double quotes of an argument without spaces node command.js "hello'world" expected ["hello'world"] actual ["hello", "world"]

node command.js "'helloworld'" expected ["'helloworld'"] actual ["helloworld"]
