[Resolved] Store HTML code as string?

Is there a more efficient way of doing this than adding &""""& for every double quotation mark in the html code when building the string? I need to store the HTML code as a string. I am finding "[tablerow]" within an existing document with StreamReader and want to replace it with my string value (html code) when writing it back using stringwriter.

If you do two quotes "" inside of a quote, then it will read that as a single quote to be put in the quotes. Example:

Code:

---

        Dim s As String
        s = String.Format("""{0}""", "somevalue")

        MessageBox.Show(s)

---

Hmmm. It still does not appear to like that. I am dealing with multiple HTML properties in the string, so there are lots of ""'s. Here's what I've got now:

Code:

---

  strRowToAdd = (String.Format("""{0}""", "<tr><td width="16%"><div align="center" class="style4">[procedure]</div></td><td width="16%"><div align="center" class="style4">[date]</div></td><td width="16%"><div align="center" class="style4">[surgeon]</div></td><td width="16%"><div align="center" class="style4">[surgphone]</div></td><td width="16%"><div align="center" class="style4">[facility]</div></td><td width="20%"><div align="center" class="style4">[postop]</div></td></tr>"))

Thanks for any suggestions. This appears to be fairly tricky. :)

I ran across this article, but am still a little confused regarding the syntax:

If you are just building a large string with no replacement values, then forget about String.Format. Inside your string, replace every double quote with two doublequotes.

Code:

---

"<tr><td width=""16%""><div align=""center"" ...

Thanks Negative0, I got things working........all the double quotes had me cross-eyed! :)
