expect script - masking quotes "

[davidbelarus]

Gentlemen

I have strings with special characters in them " to be exact.
how do i get the string to record correctly at a "set" "send" "put" statment

#this did not work, the quotes screwed it up.
set bootline "boot -elf -z $tftpserver:machine1-pac.initrd "root=/dev/ram0 rootfs=xxx calmem=88m"

i know the answer to this.
use \ before the "
example set value " \" coolbeans \"

by the way, what do i get for helping someone out like that?
