![Build status](https://api.travis-ci.org/binocarlos/spawn-args.png)

Turn a string of command line options into an array for child_process.spawn

## install

```

$ npm install spawn-args

```

## usage

```js

var spawnargs = require('spawn-args');

//spawnargs(argString:string[, options:object]);

var args = spawnargs('-port 80 --title "this is a title"');

/*

	[

		'-port',

		'80',

		'--title',

		'"this is a title"'

	]

	

*/

```

The `removequotes` option will remove quotes from values if they do not have spaces

```js

var args2 = spawnargs('-port 80 --color "red" --title "this is a title"', { removequotes: true });

/*

	[

		'-port',

		'80',

		'--color',

		'red',

		'--title',

		'"this is a title"'

	]

	

*/

```

If `removequotes` is `always` then quotes will be removed even if the value contains spaces

```js

var args3 = spawnargs('-port 80 --color "red" --title "this is a title"', { removequotes: 'always' });

/*

	[

		'-port',

		'80',

                '--color',

                'red',

		'--title',

		'this is a title'

	]

	

*/

```
