An embedded string in a shell script is normally fenced with either ' or " so you need to escape these characters inside the string.
Try a here doc:
Now the fence is a custom word.
You must quote it to prevent variable substitutions.
BTW if a file or a here doc has got one line then read is smarter than cat.
cat does not omit the space, (decimal character 32).
