how can I use echo quote? I try it and it doesn't work

eg:

echo  " "$q" " >> a.txt

it can't have " " in the a.txt

Good link worth a bookmark!

Is the original poster looking for this type of solution:
$ S="Tango"
$ echo -e "\040$S\040"

Hi,

by using ' (apostroph), you can quote a " (double apostroph) too:
you can say: echo ' " '"$q" >>a.txt
