Command line escaping is an annoying son of a bitch and different rules apply depending if you're using bash, cmd, powershell.

That's why you shouldn't use cmd or powershell. That and the fact that you'd have to install W*nd*ws in order to use them.

Edit: Too bad that all the downvoters didn't leave a comment. Now I'll never know if it was M*cr*s*ft employees on their anual works outing, or if you're mad because I dared to use the W-word :D

String escaping sucks in bash and other posix-style shells too, though.

I rather deal with that than any Micro$oft(R) Garbage(R).
