I think in the thread it's explained nicely why it can't work with single quotes alone. For the non-single-quoted stretches you can of course do without double quotes (use backslash), but I think we are splitting hairs at this point. Thomas and me just guessed at the OP's intentions: (s)he didn't want double quotes to protect the $ in there. I think we guessed right :-) regards - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlcx4JQACgkQBcgs9XrR2kZpjQCffzfOP5OuC771S28FItQjFus0 3ecAmgMIILeAmt1TdBuhVnXJHhDOMrjL =I5y2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
