Note Submitter: Benjamin Schwenk ---- @rmays at castlecomm dot com Sorry dude, but your "incorrectly escaped string!!!!" is not that incorrect at all. ;) Just go into your own linux shell and use the string you tought it was incorrectly escaped together with an echo command: $ echo ' single quote'\''d ' single quote'd ^^^ As you can see above, the resulting output is right. However, if you try this with the string you expected to be right... $ echo ' single quote\'d ' ...then this will lead to no output at all, because you are still in input mode for the shell.
