I'm saying I have domain knowledge of the format, and that it never contains quotes. Thanks for the info. also gave you a URL providing the makepasswd code as evidence. Have you read that? Why would I? It wouldn't support or contradict anything you or I said.	[reply]

Your approach is absolutely fine in a code library providing the most generalisable possible solution for escaping arbitrary shell commands.
