When using strings that contain special characters, use the following guidelines:

Strings containing the following special characters must be quoted using single quotation marks or double quotation marks:

• $ (dollar sign)
• " (double quote)
• ' (single quote)
• ` (back quote)
• \ (backslash)
• ~ (tilde)
• ; (semicolon)
• | (vertical bar)
• ( (left parentheses)
• ) (right parentheses)
• & (ampersand)
• > (greater than)
• < (less than)
• # (pound)
• ASCII code 32 (space)

There are different escaping rules for using single quotation marks versus double quotation marks.

For using double quotation marks:

The following characters must be escaped by prepending a backslash:

• $ (dollar sign)
• " (double quote)
• ` (back quote)
• \ (back slash)

For example, use the following for a string that contains the special characters, $, ",',`and \

For using single quotation marks:

• No character escaping is necessary.
• A single quotation mark is not used even with a back slash escaped.
