I need help:
set x to "test.cgi\?"
will not compile (expected """ but found unknown token). What's up
with that? For use in a do shell script, I need to escape a URL that
contains a .cgi? portion. Pasting the URL with the backslashed ?
(\?) works just fine in the Terminal, but I can't pass the URL to
the shell, since AS refuses to compile a string containing "\?". Is
there another way of escaping in either AS or the shell?
Does this work?
set x to "test.cgi\\?"
I don't think the question mark is causing the problem. It's the
escape character [ \ ] which needs escaped.
