It was suggested to quote your string with *backticks* (` ... `) rather
than single quotes.
String <- `<html>
<head>
...

Is there any way in R how to replace " ' " with " /' " programmatically?
My actual string is quite lengthy, so changing it manually may not be
possible. I am aware of gsub() function, however not sure I can apply
it directly on my original string.

To embed a single ' mark in a string delimited by ' marks, you must "escape"
them by prefixing them with a back-slash \.

Hi again,
Let say I have below string (arbitrary)
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" <script type="text/javascript">
mystatement('current', {'pac':['']});
mystatement;
I want to pass above string to some R variable for further analysis.
So I have tried below :
String = '<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" <script type="text/javascript">
mystatement('current', {'pac':['']});
mystatement;'
It is not clearly working as I am getting below error :
String = '<html>
+ <head>
+ <script type="text/javascript" <script type="text/javascript">
+ mystatement('current', {'pac':['']});
Error: unexpected symbol in:
" <script type="text/javascript" <script type="text/javascript">
mystatement('current"
mystatement;'
Error: object 'mystatement' not found
Any pointer how to create my string 'String' based on above would be
highly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
