Hi all,

I've got a quick and easy question :
How to use double quotes in a string ?

I tried the usual stuff (using backslash; using 2 doubles quotes), but it does not seems to be that.

Thank you very much for your help.

And congratulations to the developers for this great software !

You should use chr(34):

B4X:

"This is a " & chr(34) & "double quote" & chr(34)
Or:
q = chr(34)
"This is a " & q & "double quote" & q

In VB, we just put 2 of the double quotes in and it treats it as 1 instead of ending/starting the string.

ie" debug.write "Hello ""Jim"""
prints Hello "Jim"

Is there anyway to change it to that? It's much more convenient.
