How do I send apostrophe in file?

[mheilbut]

Hi to all!!

I am sending a file by ftp and I am having problems because in the file, I should be sending a name as follows:
SANTA D'OESTE
but unix aparently doesn't have the "'" and instead sends "´": SANTA D´OESTE.

How can I send the "'" in my file in unix?

Thanks in advance!

It's the same character. It just displays a little differently.

You may have to escape it or Unix will translate it as a control character?

Try escaping it with SANTA D\´OESTE or wrap the whole thing in double quotes "SANTA D´OESTE"

Sorry no rescorce at the moment to test the above suggestions so it's up to you .....

Good Luck,
Laurie

Laurie, just to confirm that escaping the character does appear to do the trick.
