Discussion on: A simple way to replace npm scripts in Deno

Replies for: 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.

[ "echo", "'And", "he", "said:", "My name is!", "aa'" ]

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;.
