My questiondeals with writing aspect files using the transmit command.

I need to send the string

"8162224455"

The tranmit command reuires quotes to define the data to send so my quotes are removed and

8162224455 is sent to the terminal.

Can anyone tell me how to include the quotes with the sent data ... everything I have tried will not compile.

Thanks so much.

You need to escape the double quote.

Try this. I did not test it with transmit but it does work with statmsg.

proc main

transmit "`"8162224455`""

endproc
 
You can see what is actually being sent. Turn on the monitor window under Data > Monitor Window or ALT-\. Any data sent from either keyboard or script can be seen in Hex/ASCII.
Knob's script works (FYI)
