Quotes in strings

[David Garratt]

I want to embed a " character in a string - I must be simple but I can't see how to do it. In VB I would probably use chr$(34).

Thanks in advance

Dave

Escape it:

String theString = "this is an \"embedded\" quote";

You can negate the special nature of the character by adding a backslash in front of it. It will be treated as a regular character and not as a quote.

Look up the "escape" sequences with a \ in.
\" \' \b \n \r \t etc
