Oracle provides a "quoted string" syntax. For example, a string could be
'Some String' or q'{Some String}'
This is described in detail at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/ser ... SQLRF00218 ; the "{}" can be any of a number of pairs. (In fact, it can be any single character though [, {, <, or ( all require the corresponding close brace.)
This is particularly handy for doing quotes within quotes:
'that''s my boy' can be expressed without the double-single-quote as q'{that's my boy}'
But, seems that the available wordfiles don't quite handle this condition...and if you start doing quoted strings within quoted strings:
q'[ this is a q'{quoted string}' within a quoted string]'
I don't know if/how to make it handle this...
Thoughts?
