Hello,

I am trying to include the double quote character into a string and am unfamiliar with RBASIC or BASIC+'s way to do so. In other languages I have seen "" be representative as a double quote as well as \" but neither seem to work in OI programs. How do I accomplish this? Thanks!

Charles-

There is the QUOTE function, which surrounds a string with double-quotes.

You could also use the CHAR(xx), function. I think that double quotes are CHAR(34).

To put a double-quote in a string, use single quotes for the string.

For example

STRING=this is a double quote " character'

or break it into two

STRING=this is a double quote ":char(?):" character"
