Not if you use Script Debugger <https://latenightsw.com/>. SD has a “Paste as String Literal” command that automates the double-quoting as necessary. I don't know for certain if the freeware "lite" version has this command, but I think it likely – since it's not listed in the feature comparison chart: https://latenightsw.com/sd8/feature-comparison/ To go the other direction you can display the string in a result-viewer and select “Best View” and copy – or you can just set the clipboard to the string. With just a little set-up this issue is trivial to manage. -Chris -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
