How do I save a string to a cell that is in apostrophes?
ie. 'filename', not filename

If '''filename''' looks too confusing, e.g. when posting code in a forum:
quote = char(39);
abc = {[quote, 'filename', quote]}

Use a double apostrophe everywhere you want one.

Right. So in order to use that string itself, you would use
abc = '''filename''';
