Splitting a string

[HMS Surprise]

I found my problem, the backslash isn't really there. It is just the
way it was displayed in the shell after being split from a larger
string.
Printing it yields
D132259','','status=no,location=no,width=630,height=550,left=200,top=100')"
target="_blank" class="dvLink" title="Send an Email to selected
employee">

As as opposed to what I got by just typing the variable name in the
shell.
