This may be a dumb question, but I'm lost. I'm writing a applescript that executes CLI commands. I'm using do shell script to execute this command...

cp /Volumes/VOLUME\ IDENTIFIER/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOB /Volumes/Media/ARCHIVE.VOB

The problem is that \ after VOLUME. If I leave it in there, the script won't compile. If I leave it out, the cp command fails. I've tried throwing some extra quotes at it, but that doesn't seem to help much either.

Any suggestions?

Sigh. I seem to be doing this a lot lately. Actually the extra single quotes work just fine. I think there must have been a typo when I tried it before. Sorry.

You can also escape the escape.
