Issue parsing arguments with escaped text

[jurgyy]

While working on an azure CLI application I noticed some problems parsing (escaped) json and I've traced the problem back to Knack.

In short, with a nonspecific program based on Knack. The following launch params

python .\testknack.py -b '\"a long string\"' --debug

Results in:

Command arguments: ['-b', '{"a', 'long', 'string"}', '--debug']

As you can see, each word in the second argument gets parsed as a separate argument. This doesn't seem right, does it?

I'm using powershell on windows 10 by the way.

Cheers,
