Escaping commas

[andrewmclagan]

I cannot find a simple example of how to escape commas in a command:

const ports = [3000,4000,5000]; 
const portsList = ports.join(',');

$`kill -9 $(lsof -ti:${portsList})`;

result:

kill -9 $(lsof -ti:$'3001,4001,4002')

expected:

kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3001,4001,4002)

Which of course is invalid. A concise example would be amazing for myself and everyone else.

Hmm... maybe we should add the comma char to the whitelist.

The kill -9 $(lsof -ti:$'3001,4001,4002') is exactly the same as kill -9 $(lsof -ti:3001,4001,4002) and totally valid.

Please, read the https://google.github.io/zx/quotes.

Found a work around. Thank you though!
