[jira] [Commented] (GROOVY-7545) Incorrect handling of quotes in executed strings

["Keegan Witt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-7545?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14705952#comment-14705952 ] 

Keegan Witt commented on GROOVY-7545:
-------------------------------------

I should add, if you can think of a way to make this work, I'd love to hear it.  Just keep all the complexities in mind:
* Unmatched single quotes used as apostrophes
* Single quotes, double quotes, and/or spaces in binary names and/or arguments
* Nesting of single and double quotes to control args of binary (double or single might be outermost)
