I've tried both 0.18.x and 0.19.8.1.

Try this:
{{{
#!/bin/sh

TMP="$(gettext "foobar")"
TMP="$(echo "$TMP" | tr -d \')"
TEST="$(gettext "HeyHey")"
TEST2="$(gettext "gabba gabba hey hey")"

echo "$TEST"
}}}

foobar will be extracted but not the rest.

Sorry, you provide too little information.  I can't reproduce it with:


cat > a.sh
sed -e s/\'//g" or "tr -d \'
^D

xgettext -o - a.sh


We would at least need:

- What version of gettext did you use?
- What command line did you use?
- What behavior did you expect?
- What behavior did you actually see (what do you mean by "bail out")?

Thank you,

Having the following in a script makes xgettext bail out:
"sed -e s/\'//g" or "tr -d \'"
