mergeArguments method

List<String> mergeArguments(List<String> rawArguments)

To process the arguments correctly, the system checks for quotation marks in the arguments, as well as for opening and closing brackets, to ensure that the mergedArguments contain related data to actual parse it later.

Implementation

List<String> mergeArguments(List<String> rawArguments) {
  final List<String> args = [];
  String arg = "";
  bool openQuotes = false;
  for (final String raw in rawArguments) {
    arg += arg.isEmpty ? raw : " $raw";
    for (int i = 0; i < raw.length; i++) {
      if (i > 0 && raw[i - 1] == "\\") {
        continue;
      }
      if (raw[i] == "\"") {
        openQuotes = !openQuotes;
      }
    }
    if (!openQuotes) {
      args.add(arg);
      arg = "";
    }
  }
  return args;
}
