If you can't use single quotes, I don't know how to use it,, but there is probably something more arcane that would work, were one a guru.
Have you read thru 'man bash', carefully, looking for informatiion on quoting?
there is also a document named Advanced Bash Scripting that gives lots of gory details about doing odd things in Bash that might be helpful. Google is your friend.
