Github user jwadamson commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/ant/pull/24 I see a couple options: 1) we can continue playing with sed, but probably should use `printf '%s' "$X"` instead of echo to pipe the input to avoid issues with trailing newlines and echo interpretation. 2) use several ${X/Y/Z} replacement patterns. (doing backslash first so as not to double-encode that) I think #2 is probably simpler going forward. Do we know if this is posix and supported across platforms? esc_arg="${arg}" esc_arg="${esc_arg/\\/\\\\}" # must be first since later patterns introduce backslash chars esc_arg="${esc_arg/\$/\\\$}" esc_arg="${esc_arg/\"/\\\"}" esc_arg="${esc_arg/\`/\\\`}" quoted_arg="\"$esc_arg\""
