quotes

Is it possible to put quotes inside quotes? If so how? Here is my code: <?php echo '<span onclick="$(this).addClass('selected');"> </span>'; ?> According to php.net To specify a literal single quote, escape it with a backslash (\). It means you could have: <?php echo '<span onclick="$(this).addClass(\'selected\');"> </span>'; ?> You could do this: <?php // some code ?> <span onclick="$(this).addClass('selected');"> </span> <?php // some more code. ?> Heredoc is the perfect solution for this: <?php echo <<< HereDocString <span onclick="$(this).addClass('selected');"> </span> HereDocString; ?>

I need to write a string literal to a text file, but the C# compiler finds errors when I use quote characters in it. My current code: writeText.WriteLine("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>"); I need the output for the text file to be: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> How can I put quote characters in strings in C#? You need to escape the quotation marks to put them in a string. There is two ways of doing this. Using backslashes in a regular string: writeText.WriteLine("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>"); Using double quoation marks in a @-delimited string: writeText

I'm trying to substitute a string variable, containing multiple quoted words, as a parameter to a command. Thus, given the following example script (Note the -x in the shebang, which causes the output to be logged to stderr), #!/bin/bash -x myArg="\"hello\" \"world\"" echo "string is:" $myArg exit Which gives us, + myArg='"hello" "world"' + echo 'string is:' '"hello"' '"world"' string is: "hello" "world" + exit Line two shows what is actually passed to the command; bash has added single quotes to each word in the string. If I instead, thusly, quote "$myArg", the same occurs but for the whole

I generate a bash variable containing all my args and those args contain spaces. When I launch a command with those args - eg. ls $args - quotes are not correctly interpreted. Here is an example - also creating and erasing needed files. #!/bin/bash f1="file n1" f2="file n2" # create files touch "$f1" "$f2" # concatenate arguments args="\"$f1\" \"$f2\"" # Print arguments, then launch 'ls' command echo "arguments :" $args ls $args # delete files rm "$f1" "$f2" With that, I have some "no such file" errors for "file , n1" , "file and n2" You might consider using an array for the args, something
