I have been using the applescript method of executing shell scripts toIt is not a problem restricted to AppleScript, but there's a good way to deal with it. A quote ends the string in Transcript. So if you write:
gret effect since I learned about the trick a couple days ago.
However, I have this problem:
I keep getting errors when I try and execute a shell command that contains
quotes. What is the proper way of dealing with this?
ask "What do you mean with "OK"?"
it sees OK as a part that needs to be executed, because the string ended with the second quote in the line.
Solution: replace every quote that needs to be part of the string like this:
ask "What do you mean with " & quote & "OK" & quote & "?"
(or use 'single quotes' when possible)
