Hi

Thanks for the response Smilie

I'll go with yes on that.

To be honest I'm trying to anticipate some content that a bunch of developers are currently working on. I'm still unclear on exactly what they are going to do but they suggest I need to allow for at least a double quoted string that contains a single quote, so I guess two single quotes in a double quoted string is a possibility.

Cheers

Brad

PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3pm)

NAME
PPI::Token::Quote::Double - A standard "double quote" token INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::Quote::Double isa PPI::Token::Quote isa PPI::Token isa PPI::Element DESCRIPTION
A "PPI::Token::Quote::Double" object represents a double-quoted interpolating string. The string is treated as a single entity, PPI will not try to understand what is in the string during the parsing process. METHODS
There are several methods available for "PPI::Token::Quote::Double", beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::Quote, PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes. Got any ideas for methods? Submit a report to rt.cpan.org! interpolations The interpolations method checks to see if the double quote actually contains any interpolated variables. Returns true if the string contains interpolations, or false if not. simplify For various reasons, some people find themselves compelled to have their code in the simplest form possible. The "simply" method will turn a simple double-quoted string into the equivalent single-quoted string. If the double can be simplified, it will be modified in place and returned as a convenience, or returns false if the string cannot be simplified. SUPPORT
