NAME Parse::CommandLine::Regexp - Parsing string like command line VERSION This document describes version 0.002 of Parse::CommandLine::Regexp (from Perl distribution Parse-CommandLine-Regexp), released on 2020-04-09. DESCRIPTION This module is an alternative to Parse::CommandLine, using regexp instead of per-character parsing technique employed by Parse::CommandLine, and which might offer better performance in Perl (see benchmarks in Bencher::Scenario::CmdLineParsingModules). "parse_command_line", the main routine, basically split a string into "words", with whitespaces as delimiters while also taking into account quoting using """ (double-quote character) and "'" (single-quote character) as well as escaping using "\" (backslash character). This splitting is similar to, albeit simpler than, what a shell like bash does to its command-line string. FUNCTIONS parse_command_line Usage: my @words = parse_command_line($str); HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at . SOURCE Source repository is at . BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests on the bugtracker website When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a patch to an existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired feature. SEE ALSO Parse::CommandLine Text::ParseWords's "shellwords()". This module also allows you to specify which quoting characters to use. "parse_cmdline" in Complete::Bash, which uses similar technique as this module, but also takes into account non-whitespace word-breaking character such as "|". Text::CSV and friends.
