Use "quotes" in a string without the CF tag parsing it

[Streetdaddy]

I would normally use the \ character in a string so to escape out the " character when building a string (this is what I do in perl and C). Cold Fusion doesnt seem to use the same syntax, and i don't know what character to use?

Use double "".

For example:
<CFSET foo = &quot;escape &quot;&quot; quotes&quot;>
<CFOUTPUT> foo: #foo#</CFOUTPUT>
should display foo: escape &quot; quotes

Thanks Thats what I wanted to know!


how about using < in a string

&quot;<<&quot; & #URL.Email# & &quot;>>&quot; gives me :

<>

but not the email?

Try &quot;< #URL.Email# >&quot; ...I know it doesn't look right, but
it works.
