escaping

In C#, there is a verbatim string so that, string c = "hello \t world"; // hello world string d = @"hello \t world"; // hello \t world I am new to shell script, is there a similar method in shell? Because I have many folders with the name like "Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Activewear", I want to know if there is a easy way to process the escape characters without write so many . test.sh director="Apparel & Accessories > Clothing > Activewear" # any action to escape spaces, &, > ??? hadoop fs -ls $director For definining the specific string in your example, Apparel & Accessories >

I have a Windows.Forms.TextBox that I'd like to allow the user to enter escape sequences that are then interpreted as the character they represent. For example, if the following is entered: Hello\r\nWorld I'd like it to be stored as the character array: H e l l o \r \n W o r l d 0x48, 0x65, 0x6C, 0x6C, 0x6F, 0x0D, 0x0A, 0x57, 0x6F, 0x72, 0x6C, 0x64 Thus far, I'm using the following to handle '\r' and '\n', but I'd also like to be able to handle any other escape sequence, like \u001A (ctrl+z), or \u001B (esc) string str = txtBox.Text.Replace("\\r","\r").Replace("\\n","\n"); ...There has to be a

I need an efficient piece of code that strips escape characters. This is regular escapes not HTML escape characters. Example: "\"", "\\\\", "\", "\\" I want a general algorithm to strip any kind of escape sequences. Could use any utility like regular expression. (NSString*) unescape:(NSString*) string { .... } This is the answer I wrote: -(NSString*) unescape:(NSString*) string { for(int i = 0; i < string.length; i++) { char a = [string characterAtIndex:i]; if([string characterAtIndex:i] == '\\' ) { string = [string stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:NSMakeRange(i,1) withString:@""]; } }

I am working on an XML data set (the DrugBank database available here ) where some fields contain escaped XML characters like "&", etc. To make the problem more concrete, here is an example scenario: <drugs> <drug> <drugbank-id>DB00001</drugbank-id> <general-references> # Askari AT, Lincoff AM: Antithrombotic Drug Therapy in Cardiovascular Disease. 2009 Oct; pp. 440–. ISBN 9781603272346. "Google books":http://books.google.com/books?id=iadLoXoQkWEC&pg=PA440. </general-references> . </drug> <drug> ... </drug> ... </drugs> Since the entire document is huge, I am parsing it as follows: VTDGen gen

I'm getting a value back from the server that contains a double quote in it. I need to populate an input tag with the value. I've tried using escape(myVariable), but that converts the spaces to %20, etc. I suppose I could write an if/then that says if there's a double quote in the field, then use value='', but then what do I do if they have both double and single quotes in the field? input.value = val.replace(/"/g, '"'); Replace double quotes with " . I'm getting a value back from the server that contains a double quote in it. You flagged your question as "javascript" so I assume you are

I have a page where I wish to render the following html (a small JS template)- <script type="text/html" id="lightbox-template"> <div id="lightbox-background"></div> <div id="lightbox"><%= content %><div class="bottom"></div></div> </script> However, the Asp.NET preprocessor is picking up on the "<%=" tag and trying to interpret it. I wish to escape this tag to allow it to be rendered, preferably from the template rather than the code behind. Is this possible? I have managed to do this via a Literal control and setting it's text in the code behind. I ideally wanted to keep it within the aspx
