invalid input text "\\\"testing\\\")"

Hi
I'm trying to fetch keys which match a particular value on Windows PowerShell but seeing invalid input text error.

Below is the data

List1:
  - List2:
      - team: dba
        CloudProvider: aws
        Comment: testing
      - team: it
        CloudProvider: aws
        Comment: staging
      - team: qa
        CloudProvider: azure
        Comment: testing
      - team: qa
        CloudProvider: azure
        Comment: testing

query I tried are yq ".List1[].List2[] | select(.Comment == \""testing\"")" file.yaml and yq '.List1[].List2[] | select(.Comment == \"testing\")' file.yaml both resulted in same error Error: 1:39: invalid input text "\\\"testing\\\")".

I'm using

yq --version
yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/) version v4.40.5

PowerShell version
PSVersion                      7.4.0
PSEdition                      Core

I'm not fully across how Powershell handles quotes, but there's some tips here: https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/usage/tips-and-tricks#quotes-in-windows-powershell and here #747
