You need to escape one of the types of quotes. Double quotes is generally simpler: $ x="foo \"foo\" and 'bar' content" $ echo "$x" foo "foo" and 'bar' content Since you can't "\" escape inside of single quotes, you would end up with something more convoluted, like: $ x='foo "foo" and '"'"'bar'"'"' content' $ echo "$x" foo "foo" and 'bar' content Alternatively: $ x='foo "foo" and '"'bar' content" $ echo "$x" foo "foo" and 'bar' content Eric
