issue-50 include assignment title string within double quotes (#51)

* issue-50 replace : and / inside assignment title and course title strings * issue-50 no need to escape : and / characters. The simple fix is to include the group title within double quotes when doing group title search * issue-50 modification based on the review discusssion, that we will escape quotes inside the assignment title, and enclose the whole escaped title in the query string * issue-50 revert the unnecessary new line change for main.py file Co-authored-by: Qian <[email protected]>
