iHi All,

This is part of a sed command in a bash script.
sed 's/["'"'"']//'
This matches " or '. It works.
But it's 'unreadable' and almost impossible to find the typo if it's wrong.
Is there a better way of writing it? the obvious '["\']' doesn't work.
These work with bash for me (bash). I usually prefer to enclose in dq since I
often have shell vars in the rule:
sed "s/[\"']//"
sed $"s/["\']//"
Though maybe your real requirement is more complex than revealed?
Tim.
