Hi there,

Can you please add the following example on how to embed double quotes to the "Using "Double Quotes"" section of the Escape Characters page.

Code: Select all

powershell.exe -command "&{$m = "\""hello world"\"";write-host $m}"

Thanks!

this is also helpful with commands like

Code: Select all

sqlplus user/\""password with spaces"\"@service

OK that's done, I also added a couple of alternatives

thanks, I also noticed this version works as well

Code: Select all

powershell.exe -command "&{$m = \"hello world\";write-host $m}"

that in turn leads to this one working in Windows-PowerShell v5.1(non ISE)

Code: Select all

PS C:\Working\Path> powershell.exe -command '$m=\"hello world\";write-host $m'

which I would not have expected
