Tokenize a command line of strings to a vector. It'll process any 7-bit ASCII ok. It'll ignore all other characters. You should avoid the first character being a 0 byte (the value 0, not the character 0).

Parameters:

target - A Reader source.

properties - Properties for replacements.

Returns:

a vector of command line tokens.

Throws:

ThingsException
