Fwd: HOW Do I Use ' as a literal in a string?

[Amy Emge <emgeac@MUOHIO.EDU>]

Scott, I'd say you need four - two for the quotes around the string, and
then two to represent the single tick/apostrophe.  Try this instead - it's
a little less confusing.

let $q = ''''

let $user_pwd = 'user ' || $q || 'upload' || $q || ' ' || $q || 'upload' || $q

The $q represents all the tick/apostrophes you need.  I tried it and it worked.
