That's what 'echo "one two three four" a b c d > /tmp/fubar.txt' does on the command line --

$ echo "one two three four" a b c d > /tmp/fubar.txt
$ cat /tmp/fubar.txt 
one two three four a b c d

> How can I keep the quotes?  They can be single or double quotes it doesn't matter.

command_line    /bin/echo '$_HOSTBLAH$' > /tmp/fubar.txt

$ echo '"one two three four" a b c d' > /tmp/fubar.txt
$ cat /tmp/fubar.txt 
"one two three four" a b c d
