-bash: !”: event not found [closed]

Running

set +H

will turn off the offending (history expansion) functionality in its entirety. Putting this in your ~/.bashrc is a common practice.

Alternately, you can modify the histchars variable to change the characters used to trigger history expansion (by default, !), quick substitution (by default, ^) and comments (by default, #).

As yet another option, using single- rather than double-quotes avoids triggering the shell feature in question.
