Ok, I have the code below, which is mean't to open a terminal and run a command:

Code:

Cursor wait showWhile: [ScratchPlugin primOpenURL: 'osascript -e ''tell app "Terminal" do script "echo hello" end tell'''].

The problem is that Squeak thinks "Terminal" and "echo hello" are comments. How can I escape the double quotes or is there another way to run the AppleScript without double quotes?

Mean't? That would mean "mean not" which is obviously not what your trying to say.

LOL. it's "you're" not "your", grammar cop ^^

I hope you don't take any offense to that reply. I'm just pointing out the irony.

No, it would mean "mean<some omitted character(s)>t". The most probable substitution would be "mean it," as in "'tis." Following convention, "mean not" would have two "n"s, i.e., "meann't."

I always accidentally write "mean't" instead of "meant". Meant is the past tense of mean and it is not a contraction.
