I'm not new to the shell, but still messed up with some of the not-so-difficult issues with quotes. There must be something incomprehensible.
a: echo 'Don\'t quote me // Don quote me
b: echo Don'\t' quote me // Don quote me
c: echo Don\t quote me // Dont quote me
d: echo Don"\t" qoute me // Don quote me
The above three quotes go completely against my intuition. Does the single quote give '...'what is quoted? I thought it was ...
For a: in single quotes 'Don\', \is nothing more than a common character. So a) should be Don\t quote me.
For b: like a), '\t'suppressed a special meaning \t, so I thought that b) should also be Don\t quote me.
In c: I understand why c works, but does not understand the difference between a & b and c.
For d: is there no difference between 'and "?
Perhaps I misunderstand how to shellparse and execute a command line.
