Comment:

I wanted to know which Special characters will need to be escaped when i surround those in double quotes? for example if i enclose these in doublw quotes, do they really need to be escaped/ Special Charecters: ------------------------ $ \ # ? [ ] * + & ( ) | & ^ : ; ` ~ " /. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks Shashi.

Just put each, one by one, into a command like : echo "test$test" See what happens
