Hi Vadim, 


I used following:

(the $string uses <double><single> .... <single><double> quotes



[johan@zbook ~]$ cat test.pp 

$string = "'a quoted string'"

exec { 'show string':
  command     => "echo \"I want to see ${string}\"",
  logoutput => true,
  path    => '/bin:/usr/bin',
}
[johan@zbook ~]$ puppet apply test.pp

Subject: [Puppet Users] How to include quoted string into a command

Hi,

I can't figure out how to include a single quoted string into a command, not 
matter what escaping I do.
Here is a simplified code :

$string = '\'a quoted string\''

exec { 'show string':
  command   => "echo \'I want to see ${string}\'",
  logoutput => true,
  path      => '/bin:/usr/bin',
}

Quotes don't show up, no matter what.
What do I do wrong?

$ puppet --version
3.6.2 (Puppet Enterprise 3.3.2)

Thanks,
Vadym
