As you know, when you use a string in your REALbasic code, REALbasic
knows
it's a string because it's surrounded by double quotes. But what do you
do
if you want the string or part of the string to include double quotes?
You can use the Char function to add a quote into your string. Here's an
example:
msgbox chr(34)+"It works!"+chr(34)+" is what he said."
But there's an easier way. You can simply surround the item with an
extra
set of double quotes. Here's the same string as above using double
quotes:
msgbox """It works!"" is what he said."
There is a set of double quotes around the entire string and a set of
double
quotes around 'It works!' as well. There result is:
"It works!" is what he said.
And it indeed does.
Thanks to Owen Yamauchi for this tip.
