Hello list, I'm wondering if there is currently any way to escape double quotes in mapfile properties. As an example, I want to be able to use a query on a PostGIS table as the data source for a layer, where columns' aliases have double quotes around them, as is normally done in PostgreSQL when spaces or other characters are involved (e.g., the following would crash MapServer 4.8: DATA "the_geom from (select id as \"Field ID\", the_geom from sometable) as foo using unique \"Field ID\" using srid 5326;" I also tried using two double quotes, but that didn't work either. I noticed some discussion in a bug report related to this from a while back (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=681), but as far as I can tell, it hasn't been addressed. I can come up with my own workarounds for the problems, but I'd rather be sure whether or not this is possible first...
