quotes

I need to create cookie with e-mail address as value - but when I try to - then I have result: "someone@example.com" but I would like to have: someone@example.com The cookie should be created without double quoted marks - because other application uses it in such format. How to force java to not to add double quoted? Java adds them because there is special char "at". I create the cookie that way: HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse(); Cookie cookie = new Cookie("login", "someone@example.com"); cookie.setMaxAge

I have this awk statement: glb_library="my_library" awk " /^Direct Dependers of/ { next } /^---/ { next } /^$glb_library:/ { ver=\$0; next } { gsub(/[[:space:]]/, '', \$0); print ver':'\$0 } " file Basically, I have enclosed the awk code in double quotes so that the shell variable glb_library is expanded. I have made sure to escape the $ character to prevent the shell from expanding $0 . Followed the guidance from here . awk gives me this error: awk: syntax error at source line 5 context is { gsub(/[[:space:]]/, >>> ' <<< I want to understand: Is it legal to use single quotes inside awk ? Why

This question already has an answer here: What is the difference between object keys with quotes and without quotes? 6 answers I see this all the time: object literals declared such that some keys are surrounded with quotes and others are not. An example from jQuery 1.4.2: jQuery.props = { "for": "htmlFor", "class": "className", readonly: "readOnly", maxlength: "maxLength", cellspacing: "cellSpacing", rowspan: "rowSpan", colspan: "colSpan", tabindex: "tabIndex", usemap: "useMap", frameborder: "frameBorder" }; What is the significance of wrapping the first two property keys ( for and class )

I have a Windows batch file I'm creating, but I have to ECHO a large complex string, so I'm having to put double quotes on either end. The problem is that the quotes are also being ECHOed to the file I'm writing it to. How do you ECHO a string like that and strip the quotes off? UPDATE: I've spent the last two days working on this and finally was able to kludge something together. Richard's answer worked to strip the quotes, but even when I put the ECHO in the subroutine and directly outputted the string, Windows still got hung up on the chars in the string. I'll accept Richard's answer since

I have this command that does what I want but I can't get to alias it in my .bashrc (note that it uses both single and double quotes): svn status | awk '$1 =="M"{print $2;}' I've tried: alias xx="svn status | awk '$1 ==\"M\"{print $2;}'" And some other common sense combinations with no luck.. I know that bash is very picky with quotes.. So what's the correct way to alias it and why ? Thanks You just need to escape it correctly. alias xxx="svn status | awk '\$1 ==\"M\"{print \$2;}'" EJK Here's something that accomplishes the same thing without using an alias. Put it in a function in your

Can anybody help with effective and safe way of removing quotes from batch variables? I have written a batch file which successfully imports a list of parameters %1, %2, %3 etc. and places them into named variables. Some of these parameters contain multiple words, and therefor are enclosed in double quotes. > "Susie Jo" (%1) > "Smith Barnes" (%2) > "123 E. Main St." (%3) These %variables are next placed in named variables: > set FirstName=%1 > set LastName=%2 > set ShipAddr=%3 verification of variables is done by echo. echo.%FirstName% echo.%LastName% echo.%ShipAddr% results display as "Susie
