That wouldn't be real solution because to escape ' you still (in most situations) would need two escape() calls. One for escape ' with ' and second for rest of characters with \. The best solution is providing info about context.
I don't follow. When would you need to escape both ' with '' and other characters with \? The only "active" character in a single-quoted string is the single-quote itself. Oh, I see. You're thinking of creating a string for passing to substitute() inside an :execute, or something like that. Ah, true, then you'd need to escape the single-quotes for the string, and, e.g., "." with "\.". Escaping is a lot more difficult than one often thinks, I suppose. nikolai
