String
|
A string is a sequence of characters enclosed by double quotes. A string may also contain double quotes, but the quotes must be immediately preceded by a backslash. A backslash is represented in a string as \\. Quotes are not required if a string begins with a letter, and contains only letters, numbers, dashes (-), and underscores (_). For example, a string defining a network interface such as hme0 or eth0 does not require quotes as it contains only letters and numbers. However a string defining an IP address contains periods and requires quotes, such as: 192.168.100.1
