 * I have a blog and I have lines that I have copy pasted that have ” in them.
 * For example:
    echo “selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog” | cstm
 * When I copy paste the line from the blog to a terminal session I get this:
 * echo ^Óselclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog^Ô | cstm
 * As you see the ” is turned into a ^Ô
 * In my more recent example:
    awk ‘{ print length(), $0 | “sort -n” }’
 * This is what it will paste as
    awk { print length(), $0 | sort -n^T }^R —
 * so .. after some testing .. using the lastest post
 * awk ‘{ print length(), $0 | “sort -n” }’
 * Using firefox,IE or Crome
 * They work fine if I post from the website to a text file:
    awk ‘{ print length(),
   $0 | “sort -n” }’
 * If I past from the website to a terminal window .. i get
    awk { print length(),
   $0 | sort -n^T }^R
 * If I past from the website to a text file then to a terminal window . same thing.
   
   awk { print length(), $0 | sort -n^T }^R
 * If I past from the original text file to the terminal window no issues:
    awk ‘{
   print length(), $0 | “sort -n” }’
 * So it seems that wordpress maybe changing the characters some where?
