Escaping "#" sign

I am trying to use wget with a url that includes a "#" sign. No matter what I do to escape the character, it doesn't work. I've used \, ', and ". But none of them work. Does any one have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Are you quoting the url? It shouldn't be a problem if you are.

My guess is you're doing something like:

wget http://foo.com/#!/blah

Instead of:

wget "http://foo.com/#!/blah"

# is the shell script comment character.

Send it as %23 if you really mean for it to have a hash. If you're trying to send a fragment, don't bother since the server won't care about it regardless.
