Quotation marks are your friend.

rm "case 't':   get_all_tables = 1;
                        break;
            case 'T':   get_all_tables = 2;
cd"

does what you want. You don't need to type all that, just paste it
between two quotes.

And you were wondering why shells support two types of quotes...
