Quotes inside char string

Thank you Uwe.  I can't get my sqlQuery to work and thought that it  
must be the "\" embedded in the text string, I guess not if R  
doesn't pass the "\".  Thanks for your response.

How do I return a character string with quotes inside string?

For example, what logic do I use if I want to return the following:

Test Score="A"

I tried the following  ....

               Score<-paste("Test Score=","A",sep='"')

But it returned a "\" inside:


               "Test Score=\"A"



Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That is the print()ed R representation of it. The underlying value
*within* the quoted string is actually:
 Test Score="A
and that is always true. E.g. in your example with the SQL query  
this question probably is derived from.
cat() shows the actual version (but does not return) it.
