The Double Quotes Trick

The Double Quotes Trick

by  qbasicking  Posted    (Edited  )
There has been a lot of questions about double quotes lately. Instead of answering them one by one, here's the answer for you.
say you need to put a quoteation mark into a file. Like this

str$ = "he said"i need quotes.""
PUT #1, 1, str$

you can't do it, heres the trick. The ascii number for the quotation mark is 34.

str$ = "he said" + CHR$(34) + "i need quotes." + CHR$(34)
PUT #1, 1, str$
