string containing " 's

if i want a string to contain "'s how do I set them

so say the following

dim quote as string

quote = "Jimbob says "Mowed my lawn and found a car!""

Just use single quotes.:cool:

Just add the string like this:

MyString="Chris Said " & chr(34) & "I'm a bloody genius" & chr(34)

'cos chr(34) is the ascii for "

Cheers

Chris

dim quote as string

quote = "Jimbob says ""Mowed my lawn and found a car!"""

cant I am building a string to be passed to a mainframe line editor that wants double's

Or place Chr$(34) in where you want the quotes.

Code:

---

dim quote as string

quote = "Jimbob says " & Chr$(34) & "Mowed my lawn and found a car!" & Chr$(34)

---

Just use single quotes or...

Code:

---

quote = "Jimbob says ""Mowed my lawn and found a car!"" "

'or

quote = "Jimbob says " & chr(34) & "Mowed my lawn and found a car!" & chr(34)

thanks dude (dudes now and maybe dudettes too )! I knew that at some point but all the languages I know really sucks sometimes, between c, java, pascal, fortran, algo, scheme,lisp,asm,vb.,haskel,ada,prolog the syntax sometimes runs together.

good gracious, alot of people replied to that one fast.
