With most languages you can normally resolve with single quotes.
"This is a line 'with quotations' inside the string."

This is one way:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env tclsh

# @(#) s1     Demonstrate embedded quotes.

puts stdout ""
set version [ info tclversion ]
set message " Hello, world from tclsh ($version)"
puts stdout $message

puts stdout ""
set line "This is a line \"with quotations\" inside the string."
puts $line

producing:
Code:
$ ./s1

 Hello, world from tclsh (8.4)

This is a line "with quotations" inside the string.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
