Azure-docs: More examples of Escape Characters

[rriley99]

Is there away to escape characters such as [ or single/double quotes? The example for "@@" does not explain if this is only the case for @.

@rriley99 , We are looking into this query and will update you as soon as possible.

Hello @rriley99 and thank you for your question. I assume you are asking about escaping in pipeline expressions. Escaping in Data Flows may be slightly different.

@string('[brackets]') => "[brackets]"
@string('''singlequote') => "'singlequote"
@string('quote''s') => "quote's"
@string('singlequote''') => "singlequote'"
@string('"double"quote"') => (escaping added when viewed as json.) "\"double\"quote\""

When you want to enter a line break, do not type in "\n". Press enter, or copy-paste the whitespace characters from a text editor.

Is there a specific place or character you need help escaping?
