Won't work - at least not in the way you perhaps supposed it to work: the shell maintains one (only one!) flag of sorts for being inside or outside of a quotation. That means quotes cannot be nested and this:
is NOT a single-quoted string inside a double-quoted string but in fact a double-quoted string with just a few single-quote-characters in it. In other words: the single-quotes lose their special meaning inside double-quotes.
This is why "...$2...." and "...'$2'..." are basically the same.
Can someone help me to understand this part of code?
