Unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
Hi everyone,

I am trying to search for a string in a file that is partly made up of a variable. Here's the code:

Code:
echo "parentCategory = $parentCategory"
echo "parentCategoryFormatted = $parentCategoryFormatted"

numUrlsFoundInParentCategory=`grep -c "<Topic r:id=\"Top\/World\/Français\/" $inputFile`

echo "Hard-coded result = $numUrlsFoundInParentCategory"

numUrlsFoundInParentCategory=`grep -c \""<Topic r:id=\\\"$parentCategoryFormatted"\" $inputFile`

echo grep -c \""<Topic r:id=\\\"$parentCategoryFormatted"\" $inputFile

echo "Dynamic result = $numUrlsFoundInParentCategory"

It produces the output...

parentCategory = Top/World/Français/
parentCategoryFormatted = Top\/World\/Français\/
Hard-coded result = 22093
./dmozStats.sh: command substitution: line 44: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
./dmozStats.sh: command substitution: line 45: syntax error: unexpected end of file
grep -c "<Topic r:id=\"Top\/World\/Français\/" content.rdf.u8.clean
Dynamic result =

I can't find out why the command using the variable won't work when it appears to look the same as the hard-coded version.

Thanks!

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
