Re: Including ' in a sed command

[Jonathan Dowland]

If you can guarantee that another spare character will not appear in 
your input, doing something like this (with @ as the spare) can help to 
avoid the layers-of-escapes problem.

        … | tr \" @ | sed … | tr @ \"
It's a simple hack, but sometimes they're just the thing. If you are 
going to strip out all the tabs anyway, for example, you could do that 
first, and have tab as a spare.
