I have files with single quotes in their name, say o'a. I want to process them in awk (gawk-5.3.0):
(fd is an alternative to find).
Please don’t tell me about fd -x option, my command is snippet of a larger one and I am really interested in the awk solution.

fd . | awk '{ print "name: 47" $0 "47"; cmd="stat -c "%U" " $0 ; cmd | getline result ; print result }'

and I get errors:

name: 'o'a'
sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

How to properly escape the quotes in the name in awk ? I tried with gsub but nothing has worked so far.

There are also files with $ sign, so the best solution would be to sanitize names for most of worse situations which of course will occur!
