how to escape quotes in gremlin queries

Question

I have this query and as you firstName contains single quote Anthony O'Neil

:> g.addV('person')
    .property('firstName', 'Anthony O'Neil')
    .property('lastName', 'Andersen')
    .property('age', 44)

Any Ideas how to escape it?

Answer 1

Escape the apostrophe using \

So your Gremlin becomes:

:> g.addV('person')
    .property('firstName', 'Anthony O\'Neil')
    .property('lastName', 'Andersen')
    .property('age', 44)
