<h2>Quoting</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Use quoting to remove the special meaning of certain characters
|
|
to <strong>qsh</strong>. The following characters may be used:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The escape character (backslash) to remove the special meaning
|
|
of the following character with the exception of <newline>.
|
|
If a <newline> follows the backslash, <strong>qsh</strong>
|
|
interprets it as a line continuation. For example, <strong>
|
|
\$</strong> removes the special meaning of the dollar sign.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Literal (or single) quotation marks (<strong>'...'</strong>) to remove
|
|
the special meaning of all characters except the single quotation mark.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Grouping (or double) quotation marks (<strong>"..."</strong>) to remove
|
|
the special meaning of all characters except dollar sign
|
|
(<strong>$</strong>), back quotation mark (<strong>`</strong>), and backslash
|
|
(<strong>\</strong>). The backslash retains its special meaning as
|
|
an escape character only when it is followed by a dollar sign
|
|
(<strong>$</strong>), back quotation mark (<strong>`</strong>), double quotation mark
|
|
(<strong>"</strong>), backslash (<strong>\</strong>), or
|
|
<newline>.</li>
