Hi, I'm trying to make a string use parenthesis ( "(" and ")" ), but for each one it returns: null (for the parenthesis)
How can I get this to work?

These are examples of codes I've tried so far:
Code:
public lpr as string = chr(40).toString()
public rpr as string = chr(41).toString()

...

public string1 as string = lpr & " " & rpr
(Didn't work, returned a space.)

Code:
public string1 as string = "( )"
(Didn't work, returned a space.)

Code:
public lpr as string = "("
public rpr as string = ")"

...

public string1 as string = lpr & " " & rpr
(Didn't work, returned a space.)

And then I tried reading from text files that had those characters. Each one only returned a space.
How can I get this to work?

Thanks,
