do shell script - quotation marks problem

Dear Scripters,

I want to send a do shell script by apple script and have a problem with the quotation marks

only for example:
do shell script " grep Volumename | cut -d "  " -fl"

This doesn't function. The quotation marks between the d and -fl stop the compilation and gives an error back. Is it possible to send this kind of command by applescript? Any idea or solution?

thanks for your help

Armin
