<p>I want to have a command's parameter containing double quotes
characters (at the start & end) in an Exec statement.</p>
<p>Running in Terminal, the line would be<br>
get-iplayer ".*" --type=TV</p>
<p>
My Gambas equivalent code for the above is:
<br>
Exec ["get_iplayer", "\".*\"", "--type=TV" To sOutput<br>
where sOutput is a string.
However, this does not work. I've tried omitting the 2 lots of \"
but that doesn't help. <br>
</p>
<p>PS if you want to install get-iplayer (latest version 3.26) to
test this out, I suggest running in Terminal (on Ubuntu): <br>
snap install get-iplayer<br>
