I found this package: exec. It does the same thing as that function with more options. You could use that. It only handles double quotes but it's an improvement.
If anyone is curious how they do it, here it is.
functionsplitCommand(command){varmyRegexp=/[^\s"]+|"([^"]*)"/gi;varsplits=[];do{//Each call to exec returns the next regex match as an arrayvarmatch=myRegexp.exec(command);if(match!=null){//Index 1 in the array is the captured group if it exists//Index 0 is the matched text, which we use if no captured group existssplits.push(match[1]?match[1]:match[0]);}}while(match!=null);returnsplits;}
See, the double quotes stayed, but everything else is broken. Having a bulletproof regex is a real pain. If you want to improve it, you have to modify this var myRegexp = /[^\s"]+|"([^"]*)"/gi;.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
That's a great observation. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this case?

What about double quotes enclosed within single quotes, echo 'And he said: "My name is!" ${name}'. It's a contrived example but you get the gist.
For that you would get.
