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?
