MDB Quoting Metacharacter
Each metacharacter described in MDB Syntax terminates
a word unless the metacharacter is quoted. Characters can be quoted by enclosing
them in a pair of single quotation marks ('
) or double
quotation marks ("
). Quoting characters forces MDB to interpret
each character as itself without any special significance. A single quotation
mark cannot appear inside single quotation marks. Inside double quotation
marks, MDB recognizes the C programming language character escape sequences.
