string-argv

- Project now compiled with TypeScript and provides typings

- Now parses multiple nested quotes and content when there are no spaces [7d9b897](https://github.com/mccormicka/string-argv/commit/7d9b89730ea112b829f2591e3e9cae4c0d0cc285)

`string-argv` parses a string into an argument array to mimic `process.argv`.

This is useful when testing Command Line Utilities that you want to pass arguments to and is the opposite of what the other argv utilities do.

  '-testing test -valid=true --quotes "test quotes" "nested \'quotes\'" --key="some value" --title="Peter\'s Friends"',

var { parseArgsStringToArgv } = require('string-argv');

    '-testing test -valid=true --quotes "test quotes" "nested \'quotes\'" --key="some value" --title="Peter\'s Friends"',

__required__: __arguments__ String: arguments that you would normally pass to the command line.

__optional__: __environment__ String: Adds to the environment position in the argv array. If ommitted then there is no need to call argv.split(2) to remove the environment/file values. However if your cli.parse method expects a valid argv value then you should include this value.

__optional__: __file__ String: file that called the arguments. If omitted then there is no need to call argv.split(2) to remove the environment/file values. However if your cli.parse method expects a valid argv value then you should include this value.
