So I'm using .split(" ") in js to turn a string into array by whitespaces in JS. But let's say now I have the following string: Howdy "How are you" bro, how can I split the string by whitespaces but ignore things inside quotes (both single and double). So I can come out with something like this:
[
"Howdy",
""How are you"",
"bro"
]

This can get messy quickly. What if there's only a single quote? Can quotes be escaped? What aboutFoo (bar "baz) blarg"?

I think here you have to first split the string at the " (and ') and then split the remaining strings at the space again. The challenge here is to preserve the order of the split strings then.

@cloned I can successful keep the quoted text withstr = str.split('"');, but then while I try to split it with(i=0;i<str.length;i++) str[i] = str[i].split(" ");, it'll become nested array. And the space behind Howdy and before the quote, for example, turns into a blank value within the nested array. (Like this"[["Howdy",""],["How","are","you"],["","bro."]]")

One possibility is to think about this in terms of matching rather than splitting. You can match things between quotes or words in that order with something like:
let s = 'Howdy "How are you" bro'
let a = s.match(/".+?"|S+/g)
console.log(a)If the examples become more complicated (for example nested quotes), of course, this might require some adjustments.
