I don't really understand the question but I suspect the answer is you are 
either looking for:

1. Verbatim[...]

or

2. Print["\"Hello"] , i.e., focus on \"

Hi,

How do I coerce a string pattern to an ordinary pattern?  For example,
I might want to select those elements of a list that are pairs of
strings, where the first string matches the string pattern
"["~~___~~"]".

Thank you so much for your time.
