dquote> result of a execution a program in linux shell

Solution 1:

It means you've executed a line of code with only one double-quote character, like this:

echo "Hello

The shell is waiting for the other quote.

Solution 2:

If you have an ! in a quoted string like password="this1smyp4ssword!" it will also end with dquote>

Solution 3:

When you have "dquote>" on terminal, do not worry just press double quotes button on keyboard for EXIT:

"

Screenshot example:

Solution 4:

dquote> 

The above prompt surely means that you have to de-quote the starting of the quote, i.e. ", with another quote: ".

Please write a letter i.e another: " in the dquote> prompt.
