Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Remove line containing string and renumber Post 302922146 by LMHmedchem on Wednesday 22nd of October 2014 05:24:04 PM

I have run into a problem with one of my patterns,
spiro[2,3-dihydrobenzothiazole-2,1'-cyclohexane]

The script doesn't like this because of the unmatched single quote. I have been putting all the patterns in single quotes to deal with special characters. I don't think I can escape this single quote because the strings are single quoted already.

This is the current list of patterns,
Code:

Any ideas about how to deal with this?
