How to pass a single quote to the program?
Dear forum members,

My question is simple. I want to pass a single quote (') to be read as belonging as an addition to the letters C1', C2', C3', C4', C5', O1', O2', O3', O4' & O5' to the program voronota query-contacts which would be run through shell script and should print out numerical values. I tried writing C1\', C2\', C3\', etc. but am getting no results (blank when I am expecting numbers). Thus the question is how could I pass these letters with a single quote as an argument to voronota query-contacts command? The script is this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
read -p "amino acid: " AAA
if [[ "ALA ARG ASN ASP CYS GLN GLY GLU HIS ILE \
	   LEU LYS MET PHE PRO SER THR TRP TYR VAL" =~ $AAA ]]
then
	for i in HS_*.pdb; 
		do
    		cat $i | voronota get-balls-from-atoms-file --annotated \
    			   | voronota calculate-contacts --annotated \
	    		   | voronota query-contacts --inter-residue --match-first "'R<$AAA>'" \
	    		   --match-second 'A<C1', C2' ,C3' ,C4' ,C5',O1 , O2, O3, O4, O5, O1',O2',O3',O4',O5',N1,N2,N3,C1,C2,C3,C4,C5>'  \
    		   	   | awk '{sum += $3} END {print sum}'
		done
else
	exit 1
fi

The output through command line in all the ways described I get is a blank one:
Code:







Thank you very much for your help. I will look forward to your responses.



Yours Sincerely,

Aurimas

NAME

       page_util_quote - page character quoting utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require page::util::quote  ?0.1?

       package require snit

       ::page::util::quote::unquote char

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into various forms.

API

       ::page::util::quote::unquote char
	      A  character,  as stored in an abstract syntax tree by a PEG processor (See the packages grammar::peg::interpreter, grammar::me, and
	      their relations), i.e. in some quoted form, is converted into the equivalent Tcl character. The character is returned as the  result
	      of the command.

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
	      This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser, will
	      regenerate the character in question and is 7bit ASCII. The string is returned as the result of this command.

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
	      This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl  parser  and
	      will generate a human readable representation of the character in question.  The string is returned as the result of this command.

	      The  string  does not use any unprintable characters. It may use backslash-quoting. High UTF characters are quoted to avoid problems
	      with the still prevalent ascii terminals. It is assumed that the string will be used in a double-quoted environment.

       ::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
	      This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser  when
	      used within a Tcl comment. The string is returned as the result of this command.
