Quotation mark with actions %s

[mm1ge...@gmail.com]

# I have some trouble with --select-action or --dclick-action when the string contains some quotation mark " (double q.m.)
# Data returned by --print-all are always correct
# Strings containing single quote ' are correct.

# two quotation marks  "  return  abc i.e. the " are removed from %s

echo 'a"b"c'|yad --list --column=uno --width=1000 --height=200  --print-all --select-action='bash -c "echo %s"'

# one (unpaired) quotation mark " : no action and no data returned (internal error ?)
echo 'ab"c'|yad --list --column=uno --width=1000 --height=200  --print-all --select-action='bash -c "echo %s"'

# one (unpaired) apostrophe ' : correct
echo "ab'c"|yad --list --column=uno --width=1000 --height=200  --print-all --select-action='bash -c "echo %s"'

# one escaped " :  OK
echo 'ab\"c'|yad --list --column=uno --width=1000 --height=200  --print-all --select-action='bash -c "echo %s"'

# string translated to html code is correct: Idisplay ok, return  ab"c
echo 'ab"c'|yad --list --column=uno --width=1000 --height=200  --print-all --select-action='bash -c "echo %s"'

# I got this problem with a command like this one:
pgrep -a yad|yad --list --column=A --width=800 --height=200  --print-all --select-action='bash -c "echo %s"'  
# Error: unexpected EOF
# and more with more complex strings
# tested with yad 9 and 10

Any ideas ? Thank you

I always make sure my strings don't contain those default quotation marks, but rather those who are considered to be the proper ones in my locale.

But that doesn't solve the problem when getting a string from an external source, of course·

Kind regards
