title: How to add single quotes around argument in awk print statement?
body: <p>For convenience, I've created an alias to <code>svn rm</code> all deleted files in my working copy:</p>
  
  <pre><code>alias svnrmall="svn status | grep '^\!' | awk '{print \$2}' | xargs svn rm"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works quite well, except when the filename contains a space character.</p>
  
  <p>An easy solution to the problem seems to be to have <code>awk</code> enclose each file path in single quotes, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to do that.</p>
  
  <p>E.g., something like this (except this results in an error:  "invalid char ''' in expression"):</p>
  
  <pre><code>alias svnrmall="... | awk \"{print '\$2'}\" | ..."
  </code></pre>
