Test script:
#!/bin/bash
rev1="foo"
rev2="\"bar\""
rev3="'bar'"
newrev1="${rev1//[\'\"]}"
newrev2="${rev2//[\'\"]}"
newrev3="${rev3//[\'\"]}"
oldrev1=$(echo "${rev1}" | sed "s/['\"]//g")
oldrev2=$(echo "${rev2}" | sed "s/['\"]//g")
oldrev3=$(echo "${rev3}" | sed "s/['\"]//g")
echo "$newrev1 vs. $oldrev1"
echo "$newrev2 vs. $oldrev2"
echo "$newrev3 vs. $oldrev3"
expected output:
foo vs. foo
bar vs. bar
bar vs. bar
