String End 1

[egodette]

I am trying to create an output file that looks like this.

<%response.write "&data=10"%>

The output so far is correct except for adding the %> at the end.

My code looks like this.

answer = "<%response.write "&""""&"&data="&FormatNumber(CDbl(rsFocus("NAV")),2)&""""

When I try putting &"%>" on the end I get an error of Unterminated string constant.

Is answer a server-side variable, or a client-side one? The last time you asked this question, your example was all server-side scripting.

>answer = "<%response.write "&""""&"&data="&FormatNumber(CDbl(rsFocus("NAV")),2)&""""
[tt]answer = "<% response.write "&data="&FormatNumber(CDbl(rsFocus("NAV")),2) %>"[/tt]

Yes. This is all server side code.

Then the answer you got before in your other post with the same question is the correct one. You don't use <% or %> inside server-side scripting.

I need to create a file with this single string in it to be read by another application. The string must look like this; <%response.write "&data=10"%>.

What kind of application? How does the other application use that string? If you want to insert that in a web page using ASP, the ASP won't execute the contents of that string, but will print it to the page directly.
