iHi All,

This is part of a sed command in a bash script.
sed 's/["'"'"']//'
This matches " or '. It works.
But it's 'unreadable' and almost impossible to find the typo if it's
wrong.
Is there a better way of writing it? the obvious '["\']' doesn't work.
Tim.
Have you considered using '-f scriptfile'?
Your regex goes in the file and completely eliminates issues of
collisions with shell metacharacters.
