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
