"env:set" does not support non-alphabetical characters

[svytas]

Did you try to set a value with a plus character? The result will surprise you:
.env file:

MAIL_USERNAME=[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=hy6gGbS+
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Executing command: php artisan env:set MAIL_PASSWORD ABCDEF+
Result file looks like this:

MAIL_USERNAME=[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=ABCDEF+
+
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

If your old value has other charaters, you get error:
.env file:

MAIL_USERNAME=[email protected]
MAIL_PASSWORD=hy6^gGbS+
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Executing command: php artisan env:set MAIL_PASSWORD ABCDEF+
got error Could not set the value in your .env file, reverting...

The problem is preg_replace function...

Ah, well spotted! Seems like you've already identified the bug, can you submit a PR to fix this? If not, I'll have a look at this later next week 🙂

Sorry @svenluijten, a little busy at this time for PR.

[svenluijten]

No worries @svytas! I'll pick it up as soon as I can make some time 😄

That's... very strange. This package desperately needs a rewrite / big refactor anyway, I'll see what I can do!
