Behaviour of single and double quotes depending on shell

I've been scratching my head for quite some time with this....
Inspired by this answer , I'm trying to run 'ack' and to find either a single quote or a double quote in source files.
Doing this in **bash** perfectly works:
ack --cpp "['\"]"
But doing the same in **tcsh** gives me: Unmatched ".
One of the alternatives I have tried is to essentially swap the single and double quotes, leading to ack --cpp '[\'"]'
. But I'm still getting the same Unmatched ".
No matter what I try, I don't seem to be able to get the wanted behaviour in tcsh.
Any suggestions ?
