String

shellescape => string click to toggle source

Escapes str so that it can be safely used in a Bourne shell command line. See Shellwords.shellescape for details.

 
               # File shellwords.rb, line 136
def shellescape
  Shellwords.escape(self)
end

shellsplit => array click to toggle source

Splits str into an array of tokens in the same way the UNIX Bourne shell does. See Shellwords.shellsplit for details.

 
               # File shellwords.rb, line 127
def shellsplit
  Shellwords.split(self)
end
