Handling quotes in strings

[NeoTechni]

In VB, it let you set strings with quotes in them by replacing double quotes with a single quote instead of using it to end the string

ie:

tempstr = "Hello ""world"", how it it?"
text value is Hello "world", how it it?

or

tempstr = "Hello ""world"""
text value is Hello "world"

I miss the double quotes, too!

 

[specci48]

Label1.Text = "Hello " & Chr(34) & "world" & Chr(34)

specci48

This works too:

Label1.Text = "Hello " & Quote & "world" & Quote

Best regards.

I miss the double quotes too. Far more compact and easier to code than & chr(34) & or & quote &. But at least there's a way.

I hope that this feature will be added in one of the next versions.
In the meantime you can also use a workaround such as:

Label1.Text = "Hello ~world~".Replace("~", QUOTE)

This is useful in longer strings.
