I want embedded quotes to be parsed. I can not figure out hot to do that. I want to this to be parsable.
"'"a"'"
In a simpler case, "'a'" is parsable.
> eval(parse(text="\"'a'\""))
[1] "'a'"
But I want to parse embedded quotes
So, I want to parse '"a"' and not just 'a'
> eval(parse(text="\"'\"a\"'\""))
Error in parse(text = "\"'\"a\"'\"") : <text>:1:4: unexpected symbol
1: "'"a
I keep getting that(above) error.
Any ideas would much be appreciated.
Thanks,
