In JSON, 6 is the number six. “6” is a string containing the digit 6. So the answer to the question “Can json numbers be quoted?” is basically “no,” because if you put them in quotes, they’re not numbers anymore. But, should the parsers accept both “attr” : 6 and “attr” : “6”? Yes, but … Read more
set “myvar=c:\my music & videos” Notice the quotes start before myvar. It’s actually that simple. Side note: myvar can’t be echoed afterwards unless it’s wrapped in quotes because & will be read as a command separator, but it’ll still work as a path. http://ss64.com/nt/set.html under “Variable names can include Spaces”
Double-quoted strings support the full range of escape sequences, as shown below: \a Bell/alert (0x07) \b Backspace (0x08) \e Escape (0x1b) \f Formford (0x0c) \n Newline (0x0a) \r Return (0x0d) \s Space (0x20) \t Tab (0x09) \v Vertical tab (0x0b) For single-quoted strings, two consecutive backslashes are replaced by a single backslash, and a backslash … Read more

Below, ruamel.yaml is used instead. ruamel.yaml is actively maintained. Unlike PyYAML, ruamel.yaml supports: YAML <= 1.2. PyYAML only supports YAML <= 1.1. This is vital, as YAML 1.2 intentionally breaks backward compatibility with YAML 1.1 in several edge cases. This would usually be a bad thing. In this case, this renders YAML 1.2 a strict … Read more
PHP has Xpath 1.0, if you have a string with double and single quotes, a workaround is using the Xpath concat() function. A helper function can decide when to use what.

You need to use proper escaping/encoding. Either in HTML using character references: <p onclick=”exampleFunc(‘<div id="divId"></div>’);”>Some Text</p> Or in JavaScript using string escape sequences: <p onclick=”exampleFunc(‘\x3Cdiv\x20id\x3D\x22divId\x22\x3E\x3C/div\x3E’);”>Some Text</p>
