My experience is similar - I usually try to write out a shell script - 
hopefully reusable.
...
Within basic code, I would preference equates over variables for quotes & other 
immutable delimiters. Not only more readable (like a variable) but also more 
protection against fatfingeritus!

equ SQ to "'", 
    DQ to '"',
    SL to '/',
    BS to '\', 
    EOL to SQ:BS:'n':SQ

- Use variables for delimiters rather than embedded escapes.
It's more readable.

- There's no shame in writing to the OS and then executing. In
fact it can be very valuable to capture output and errors when
you execute
