break_command_into_strings

break_command_into_strings :: (input: string) -> [..] string

There are no escapes and no other separators. The words are slices of input, valid as long as it is, and the array is in temporary storage (temp), so neither is freed. An empty line gives no words; an unclosed quote runs to the end of the line.

Parameters

input: string

Returns

[..] string

words := break_command_into_strings(" maple   \"red tree\" cedar ");
assert(words.count == 3);
assert(words[0] == "maple" && words[1] == "red tree" && words[2] == "cedar");
