Problem with quotes in Print statement

[Patrice Bourdages]

I'm stuck...

I need to have the following statement (as is) in an output .txt file:
infile "/export/blabla/hello.txt"

How the h... do I inclosed those two quotes inside a statement looking like this:
Print #1, " infile "/export/blabla/hello.txt""

It doesn't take the double quote thing... I tried tripling it... But to my dismay, it doesn't work at all..

What should I do...?

Sincerely,

Patrice :-)

Well, that's a good question. An easy fix would be to character replace " with ' or something. then when you read the data back replace ' with " in your string.

Try this.

Open "C:\windows\desktop\tttt.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, Chr(34) & "/export/blabla/hello.txt" & Chr(34)
Close #1

Or this.

Open "C:\windows\desktop\tttt.txt" For Output As #1
Print #1, """/export/blabla/hello.txt"""
Close #1

Both should enclose the string in quotes.

print #1, chr(34) & "/export/blabla/hello.txt" & chr(34)

where chr(34) is the ascii character code for the double-quote!

you may kick yourself now!

bugger! i knew someone would get there a few seconds before me!
