[Shell] Backslash within double quotes #GU3

I’m stuck on Stage #GU3.

My code is failing at this testcase as shown in the logs

❯ sudo mkdir /tmp/foo
Password:

❯ sudo touch /tmp/foo/f\ 99 /tmp/foo/f36 /tmp/foo/f61

❯ la /tmp/foo
 .   ..   'f 99'   f36   f61

❯ cat '/tmp/foo/"f 99"' '/tmp/foo/"f\36"' '/tmp/foo/f61'
cat: /tmp/foo/"f 99": No such file or directory
cat: /tmp/foo/"f\36": No such file or directory

Since, even the native cat command is not working with the testcase, Am I missing something? Please help.

Also, I have logged the args passed to the command, and the string produced by the command and if I run that command string it works fine.

❯ ./your_program.sh
$ cat '/tmp/foo/"f 99"' '/tmp/foo/"f\36"' '/tmp/foo/f61'
/bin/cat /tmp/foo/"f 99" /tmp/foo/"f36" /tmp/foo/f61
[cat /tmp/foo/"f 99" /tmp/foo/"f36" /tmp/foo/f61]
2024/12/28 17:31:15 exit status 1

❯ /bin/cat /tmp/foo/"f 99" /tmp/foo/"f36" /tmp/foo/f61

❯

Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Alright I found the actual issue was my understanding of the testcase, the file name actually contains the / itself which I didn’t considered while testing locally. I apologize for my misunderstanding.
I have passed this test case now.
