Expected end of statement

[wallm]

myString="<a href="

http://www.tek-tips.com">Tek-tips</a>"

If TestFunction(myString)= True Then
..............


causes an expected end of statement error.
How can I use the replace function to stop the " in the link causing the error? I don't want to use ' the single quote.

thanks.

Hi

Use a double quotes instead e.g.

myString="<a href=""

http://www.tek-tips.com"">Tek-tips</a>"

( or use your replace function to replace all " with "")

I'd rather not escape with a double quotes.
Secondly if I use the Replace function

myString=Replace("<a href="

http://www.mylink.com"",""","""")

doesn't work

any ideas

You have a few options:
1) you can escape the double quotes with double double quotes, as Nick suggested
2) You can use single quotes
3) you can use single quotes or any other character then repace them with double quotes
4) You can concatenate in Chr(34): "<a href=" & Chr(34) & "

You cannot just put them in the string inline, as VBScript treats them as beginning and end of string characters.


Personally I use double double quotes, just like Nick, but it's up to you.
