Allow Direct Raw quotes and backslash in StringList

[almounah]

Hey,

Thanks for the project, peak work !

I have this usecase where I need to put double quotes in my command.

What I enter in grumble shell:

powercliff exec Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList "/temp/main_http.exe" -ComputerName 172.20.0.52

The layout is:

[Session 13: INLANEFREIGHT\Helen@SRV02] » powercliff exec --help

Exec a powershell cmd

Usage:
  exec [flags] [args...]

Args:
  args  string list    Argument of the Assembly

In my code, I ofc what to get back the Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList "/temp/main_http.exe" -ComputerName 172.20.0.52 to use it.

To do that I just use

 argString := ""
argStringList := c.Args.StringList("args")
for i := 0; i < len(argStringList); i++ {
	argString += argStringList[i]
	argString += " "
}

However argString variable is

Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList /temp/main_http.exe -ComputerName 172.20.0.52

And not

Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList "/temp/main_http.exe" -ComputerName 172.20.0.52

Same behavior is seen when using \, the \ just disappear too !

A workaround is to escape the " into \" when entering the command and \ into \\.

I was wondering if this behavior is coming from my shell or grumble anf if anything can be done to avoid escaping quotes and \ and just treat them, as normal characters.

Thanks.

I am no expert, but that is probably your shell / the readline library that grumble uses.

In my shell (bash):

echo "test"
> test
echo \"test\"
> "test"
echo \\\"test\\\"
> \"test\"
