How to do nested quotes: " "Some string" " ?

[ranshe]

How do you use nested quotation marks in a string?
I need to put double quotes in to a string and cannot find out how to do it.

Ex:

x = " "Some string" "

I have tried several ways but cannot find how to do it and cannot find it in a book, etc.

Help appreciated!
Thanks!

Try

? """Some string"""

? chr$(34) & "Some string" & chr$(34)

Hi,

also, if you're doing a lot of 'quoting' in one output, all of the chr$(34)'s take up a lot of room making it harder to see what you're doing...

you could try variables...

SM = chr$(34) for a speech mark
CR = chr$(13) for a carriage return

output = SM & "text" & SM & CR, etc...

VB already has a built-in constant represent carriage return: vbCr

Hi,

yes, I know, but it's four characters rather than two!

I'm not usually so picky, but I once needed to put several different text messages into the same output box for user information and each message spread over several lines.

I had so many 'chr$(xx)' that it was difficult to read exactly what I was doing in the code.
