When writing bash scripts is there a third level of recursion for double quotes? I need to use double quotes since single quotes will read variables literally.
I can do
"first level \"second level\""
But would like to do something like
"first level \"second level \\" third level \\"\""
I see why that does not work but I need help with syntax
You have to escape the backslash as well.
"first level \"second level \\\" third level \\\"\""
The first \\ makes a literal backslash, then \" escapes the double quote.
