Single quotes do not work
No, single quotes and double quotes are not equivalent in LiveCode.
However, the shell ignores any escape characters or " characters inside
single-quoted strings.
So, you can do:
replace "'" with "\'" in tBody
put merge("echo '[[tBody]]' | ") into tCmd
and your tBody should be protected from shell expansion.
