  • Passing double quotes in a string variable

    Hi, i have run into a problem in passing a string variable to a shelled c++ program. In the case when the string variable has spaces in it the the passed variable is not entirely read.

    However, if i can get double quotes into the variable, it should be able to accept it. How does one put quotes inside a string variable?

        Another way is putting two quotes next to each other, at least it works in PB9:

        T$ = "hello ""world"""

        this will make T$ actually equal:
        hello "world"
        Thank you,

          s = CHR$("Hello, ", $DQ,"world",$DQ,"!")
          The world is full of apathy, but who cares?
