Hi,

I have to run in a bash script a program that requires the string 

'TITLE "Average"'

in the command line with exactly that combination of double and single quotes.

Whatever combinations of quotes, escapes and tricks I try the string passed to
the program is wrong and not accepted. Is there a way to write that in a Bash
script in a way that the prog sees exactly that?

Thanks, 

G
