quotes

I want to call fn:replace inside EL inside c:out to replace quote caracters. The following does not work <c:out value="${fn:replace(userName,'"','\\"')}"/> because XML parser stops at first double quote and sees no c:cout tag termination (JSP compilation stage error). The following <c:out value="${fn:replace(userName,'"','\\"')}"/> does not work, probably because replace function does not see actual quote character. BalusC Parameterize them with <c:set> . <c:set var="search" value='"' /> <c:set var="replace" value='\\"' /> <c:out value="${fn:replace(userName, search, replace)}"/> Unrelated to

I'm trying to do something in bash with sed that is proving to be extremely difficult. I have a bash script that takes as its first argument a date. The code want to change a line in a text file to include the passed date. Here's the code #!/bin/bash cq_fname="%let outputfile="/user/cq_"$1".csv";" sed "29s/.*/\"$ct_fname\"/" file1.sas > file2.sas This script fails on the third line, I get something about a garbled command. Does anybody know a clever way to get this to work? How can I get a forward slash in quotes in sed ? You can use any character in place of the / , so just pick one that is

I have a question, is there a way to "force" repr() to create always single quotes around a string? This happens when I only use repr() print repr("test") 'test' print repr("test'") "test'" print repr("test\"") 'test"' print repr("test'\"") 'test\'"' so the last one actually does, what I want, but I don't want to add always \\" to get the single quotes. Edit: I am not going to mark an answer as accepted since, as pointed out by @martijn-pieters, I was using repr() for purposes it is not intended for. Well, if your object is always a string you could do this: def repr_single(s): return "'" +

I realized that I can have problems with single quotes in php arrays: <?php $lang = array( 'tagline' => 'Let's start your project', "h1" => "About Me" ); ?> So I changed it to double quotes: <?php $lang = array( "tagline" => "Let's start your project", "h1" => "About Me" ); ?> Should I use "php quote escapes", instead of what I just did? (by the way how to write "php quote escapes"?) First of all, some people will say that simple-quoted strings are faster that double-quoted strings ; you should not care about that kind of micro-optimization : it will not make any difference for your

I have a java method, that takes a few strings. This method needs to be called from a Velocity Template. However, the strings are too complex, with lots of single quotes, double quotes and commas as well. As a result merge is failing. Is there a way to escape quotes in Velocity? It depends on which version of Velocity you're using. Velocity 1.7 has clear rules for escaping quotes: just double the same type of quotes used to wrap the string: $object.callMethod('Let''s have fun with "quotes"', "Let's have fun with ""quotes""") Prior to that, there were some fuzzy rules with backslash escapes

I am writing a Windows batch file that automatically escalates itself to administrative permissions, provided the user clicks "Yes" on the User Access Control dialog that appears. I am using a technique I learned here to detect whether we already have admin rights and another from here to escalate. When appropriate, the following script, let's call it foo.bat , re-launches itself via a powershell-mediated call to runas : @echo off net session >NUL 2>NUL if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ( powershell start -wait -verb runas "%~dpfx0" -ArgumentList '%*' goto :eof ) echo Now we are running with admin rights

This question already has an answer here: paste quotation marks into character string, within a loop 1 answer I have started learning R and am trying to create vector as below: c(""check"") I need the output as : "check". But am getting syntax error. How to escape the quotes while creating a vector? As @juba mentioned, one way is directly escaping the quotes. Another way is to use single quotes around your character expression that has double quotes in it. > x <- 'say "Hello!"' > x [1] "say \"Hello!\"" > cat(x) say "Hello!" Other answers nicely show how to deal with double quotes in your
