double-quote inside double-quote

hey all,

i made a simple .sh like this:
Code:
echo "<style media="screen" type="text/css">@import url("main.css");</style>"

but the output is:
Code:
<style media=screen type=text/css>@import url(main.css);</style>

i want to keep double-quotes, can anyone help me?

thanks

Have you tried to quote the whole line with a single quote?

Code:
echo '"<style media="screen" type="text/css">@import url("main.css");</style>"'

Put a "\" infront if you want to keep the " " like this

echo "namish \"kumar\" tiwari"

namish "kumar" tiwari

Thanks
