How can i use (")

[Khattat]

Hello
How can i use the " in my scripts for eample i want to use " in my message text
thanks

[rhosk]

Preceed it with a slash \"

[Intrigued]

Or,

'They said, "hello all!", can you believe that?'

[Brett]

or:

strText = [[And I said, "Hello"!]];

[Intrigued]

or...

Dialog.Message("", "''Hey you!  STOP!''")

[Intrigued]

or:

strText = [[And I said, "Hello"!]];

Also...

This brings up a "bug"?

The bracks are all colored red, save for one. (second to last one)

That was a bug a ways back wasn't it?

[playmenow]

yeah, the last one is black...

[Worm]

-- \### represents the ASCII character
strText = "Worm says, \034Hello\034";

[Corey]

function quoteText(strText)
   return (String.Replace(strText, "'", "\"", false));
end

Dialog.Message("A message for you:", quoteText("Corey says 'Hello!'"));

[Khattat]

Thanks a lot

[Khattat]

what caracter can i use instead of "\\" ?
thanks

[Corey]

All showing off aside, the best way to use a quote is to simply escape it with a slash. so anywhere you want a quotation mark in the string just proceed it with a backslash, the backslash will not show up in your string when you use it...

C:\Track1.mp3

C:Track1.mp3

One thing you could do is use the String.SplitPath action to separate the path returned by your Dialog.FileBrowse() into it's components and then include the extra "\" in a concat before display to the user.

Something like this:

-- Collect the list of files from the user
t_ReturnedFiles = {};
t_ReturnedFiles = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Open File", _ProgramFilesFolder, "Text File (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files(*.*)|*.*|", "", "", false, false);

-- Step through the list of returned files splitting each into its path parts
-- i.e. "C:\My Document\pic.jpg" --> "C:\", "My Documents\", "pic.jpg"
for index_ReturnedFiles, string_ReturnedFiles in t_Files do
     t_PathParts = {};
     t_PathParts = String.SplitPath(string_ReturnedFiles);
     
     -- Now reassemble the separate parts adding the extra slashes
     -- i.e. "C:\\My Documents\\pic.jpg\"  (AMS should ignore the last slash)
     for index_PathParts, string_PathParts in t_PathParts do
          string_ReturnedFiles = "";
          String.Concat(string_ReturnedFiles, string_PathParts.."\");
     end
end

-- This should leave you with a t_ReturnedFiles table that contains
-- file path strings with doubled slashes
