Sorry but this did not work:
replace "'" with "\'" in tBody
put merge("echo '[[tBody]]' | ") into tCmd
put format ("mail -s \"Visitor Care Notice\" -r \"[email protected]\" "
& tAddresses) after tCmd
get shell(tCmd)
tBody = Peter is visiting Kauai from Scotland. He says "It's a great
day...Finally I get a break from coding and get to leave this island in
the northern hinterland and go to another one in the Pacific Blue."
email arrives with quotes stripped out.
Peter is visiting Kauai from Scotland. He says It's a great
day...Finally I get a break from coding and get to leave this island in
the northern hinterland and go to another one in the Pacific Blue.
Back the first question: how do we replace double quotes in a field or
variable?
put format ("\"") into tEscapedQuote
replace quote with tEscapedQuote

1) first we escape the single quote "It\'s"
2) then wrap with single quotes. and the double quotes are preserved
"sweet"
I'll try it

No, single quotes and double quotes are not equivalent in LiveCode.
However, the shell ignores any escape characters or " characters
inside single-quoted strings.
So, you can do:
replace "'" with "\'" in tBody
put merge("echo '[[tBody]]' | ") into tCmd
and your tBody should be protected from shell expansion.
