Re: [sqr-users] Writing a single quote in a string

[Donald Mellen <donm@ontko.com>]

The shorthand method to do this, also mentioned in the archives, is to 
use 2 single quotes in anyplace that you want one single quote in your 
string.

So to have a string that looks like...

   '3207368'10001 'HRAF

you would code...

   let $xxx = '''3207368''10001 ''HRAF'
