You didn’t use the escape character on these internal quotes. You should be getting a syntax error.

Thanks for your swift reply JeremyLT.
Please, which one is an escape character? Been stuck on this for couple of days now.:smiling_face_with_tear:

Escape character is \ (backslash) before your quote char.
i.e : Mod Edit: SOLUTION REDACTED
Same goes for all meta-chars ; backslash itself is escaped as \\.
Good luck ! :slightly_smiling_face:

It is great that you solved the challenge, but instead of posting your full working solution, it is best to stay focused on answering the original poster’s question(s) and help guide them with hints and suggestions to solve their own issues with the challenge.

We are trying to cut back on the number of spoiler solutions found on the forum and instead focus on helping other campers with their questions and definitely not posting full working solutions.
