GetSpellInfo with name issue

Code:

print( (GetSpellInfo(116257) == "Invoker's Energy") )



-- true





print( GetSpellInfo("Invoker's Energy") )



-- nil

Seems to be an issue with apostrophes. Is there a work around for this?

Edit: searching with spellName is limited to your spellbook

Keep in mind that

Using spellId as the argument will always return the info. Using spellName or spellLink will only return the info if the spell is in your spellbook. Otherwise it will return nil.

As far as I know you can only use the spell name if it's in your spell book.

Multiple spells have the same name so it would be unreliable to look up information with it, not to mention issues with localization.

Ah, wasn't aware of the spellbook limitation.
