OK
to avoid the ! error you can use '' instead of "" but then it complicates a bit the BASH function

Next problem:

It seems that BASH has a problem with '!' if it occurs in double quoted strings. I can write to avoid the error
bash$ echo "ouch!" ouch!
but then I have an escaped '!' (???)
any suggestions
