Possible to parse escaped quotes?

[karangarg45]

The original lucene lib had an issue and a known limitation related to parse the escaped quotes.
thoward/lucene-query-parser.js#1

When i try to do the same in this library, i get some unexpected result(not an error though). Is it also a limitation with this parser too?

Codesandbox example for the same

Hey @karangarg45,

in the code example you did not correctly string escape the quotes.

You use: 'keyword: "some \"random\"" ' whereas it should be 'keyword: "some \\"random\\"" ' (try executing this on the Node.js command line/browser dev tools to test this).

@bripkens Thanks for the quick response. The string shared by you gives the correct output but now my output contains extra \ charcter.
This is what the output looks like

@karangarg45 Your output looks correct to me. The output string contains only the characters some "random".

In term: "some \"random\"" the 2 slashes and 2 outer quotation marks don't exist as part of the string. They are how the terminal/console/browser shows you the data.

"some \"random\"" === 'some "random"'
