How to do string escaping

[Penko]

Hello!

I am trying to escape the string for the use of "(quote). As far as I know, VB handles it correctly but I am breaking the compiler without success.

   confirmation = Common.showQuestion(Common.trans.GetText2("Are you sure you want to delete the word \"{1}\"", Array As String(theItem)), _
   Common.trans.GetText("Delete?"), Common.trans.GetText("Yes"), Common.trans.GetText("No"))

I tried various things around {1} -> ""{1}"", the current one, etc...

You could do this:

... "Are you sure you want to delete the word " & QUOTE & "{1}" & QUOTE ...

That looks pretty straightforward and hence I believe it would work!

Thanks )

You can also write:

"Are you sure you want to delete the word ~{1}~...".Replace("~", QUOTE)

That also looks cool. Thanks Erel.
