using " character in a string???!

[Spidy6123]

Hey guys,

trying to get " character to pass through a string..
does anyone know how to send special characters through string varaibles?

TIA

Try this:
MsgBox "Double quote = "" ? "

Another way is Chr(34)

Hope This Helps, PH.

You can either enclose the double quote in double quotes (e.g. """) or use the Chr() value instead.

Private Sub Command2_Click()
Text1.Text = Chr(34) & "String" & Chr(34)
'or
Text1.Text = """String"""
End Sub

Both of the above example's will write the text "String" into the textbox.

Hope this helps

I always liked this method:

Dim Q as String
Q=Chr(34)'Double Quotes
Text1.Text= Q & "String" & Q

Everyone has their own way of doing things, and it's what ever works best for you.

I hope this helps.
