How to have character's name include an apostrophe

[somestrangecircus]

Now, to be perfectly honest...I've had alcohol and this is probably a simple solution that I am missing due to said fact.

I am trying to define a character and have that character's name include an apostrophe, but the coding doesn't want that to happen. How do I make it happen?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you have to do a backslash, apostrophe, backslash.

I think you just need one backslash. It should be like:

Code: Select all

$ RASname = "Ra\'s al Ghul" 

That should work. Now I don't think there's any way to put an apostrophe in the variable's name though, just learn to live without.

A variable can include a text string that works the same way. Just put a backslash in front of something in a text string that would otherwise be recognized as code.
