hi all,

Need something pretty urgently....

how can i dump a small html code in a variable ? do i need to take array ?

i need to write below line to a file "as is"

Code:
$a = "<style>"
$a = $a + "BODY{background-color:skyblue;}"
$a = $a + "TABLE{border-width: 1px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;border-collapse: collapse;}"
$a = $a + "TH{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:thistle}"
$a = $a + "TD{border-width: 1px;padding: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: black;background-color:palegoldenrod}"
$a = $a + "</style>"
how can i make VB turn off recognition of it's operative characters like $,<,>,= etc. which appears on above code but i need to dump it "as it is" in a file during runtime.

pls help...
