[ale] OT: Help with _funky_ characters in bash script

Good morning!

   I've been struggling with a simple bash script and I'm
stuck on some _funky_ characters. What I want to do is
echo the following bash line:

WORKSIZE=`ls -lsa ${WORKDIR}/${CASEPROJ}.urest | awk '{print $1}' `

to a file (I hope these characters some through correctly :)
Does anybody have a way to echo all of this line, including
the _funky_ characters, to a file?


TIA!

Jeff
