escape characters

Hi,

I need to insert this command into a table, but I can't because.

insert XXX

set column1 = isnull(Title,'') +

case when (case when title is null then 1 else 0 end) = 1 then '' else ' ' end

+ isnull(Last_name,'') +

case when (case when First_name is null then 1 else 0 end) = 1 then '' else ' ' end

+ isnull(First_name,'') +

case when (case when Middle_initial is null then 1 else 0 end)= 1 then '' else ' ' +

isnull(Middle_initial,'') END

I don't know how to use escape sequence, I need insert just once

thanks

    I want to insert this command into column:

    insert tableXXX

    set columnZZZ= ' stuff + '' + stuff ' ' + stuff + '1'...'

    so I can select this column

    select columnZZZ from tableXXX

    I can get

    stuff + '' + stuff ' ' + stuff + '1'

    cheers

    like this

    Insert into tableXXX values(''' stuff + '''' + stuff '' '' + stuff + ''1''...''')

    Add extra single quote for every quote appears in the string
