How can i insert "" into other "&qu

[Anon]

Hi!!!!
I would like to insert "" into ""!!
For example :
$request = "awk '$5 != "" {print $0;}' $file > $file2";
$request2 = passthru($request);

It will "take" all lines from $file which have a non empty 5th column and put the result into $file2.

But if i run this example, i get a parse error!!
Can someone help me??
Thank you very much!!!!

You need to escape your "'s like so \" inside your statement... For example.

$request = "awk '$5 != \"\" {print $0;}' $file > $file2";

Then it should work just fine.
