Re: problems with single quotes..

but this is exactally correct behavior.....you can use either two single quotes to
escape the quote or the backslash so.....

' '' \\ '' '
singlequote to start the sequence(string)
two singlequotes to insert an escape then a singlequote (yields a single quote)
a backslash to escape the following backslash (yields a single backslash)
two singlequotes to insert an escape then a singlequote (yields a single quote)
then ended by a single quote

this is acting correctly.....
