[R] impossible escape?

[Charles Annis, P.E.]

Greetings:

I've searched the R archives with no luck.

I want to print this to the screen as part of on-screen instructions as an
example:

default.FACTOR.labels <- c("Probe1", "Probe2", "Probe3")

I can't seem to trick gsub()

gsub("'", "\"", "default.FACTOR.labels <- c('Probe1', 'Probe2', 'Probe3'))")

[1] "default.FACTOR.labels <- c(\"Probe1\", \"Probe2\", \"Probe3\"))"
                                ^       ^   ^       ^   ^       ^          

which gives me \" rather than "

Is it possible to escape the " character?

Thanks.

Charles Annis, P.E.
