Title: How to get " in a string?
Post by: ponq on 12 Jul 2004, 15:14:21

Does some1 know how to get the " in a string?

Why?

I want the have a text in a dialog which can be copied and pasted into a script.
eg.:
_dude = SwithcMove "Combat"

Now, the animation (Combat) changes, so I have:

_text = "_dude = SwitchMove " + _anim

How do I get " around the animation in the _text string?

Help appreciated, thnx.

Yes, unbelievable crap this is, being used to Java/C like languages, I expected a escape character (like \, which they actually DID use in \n). Turns out it is done like this "", go figure.

So in your case that would make;

_text = "_dude = SwitchMove """ + _anim + """"; ??? (tested it and hey, it worked 8))

Count the "'s.... it really stinks...

BTW, couldn't you find this with the search?

Btw, don't be bothered with the syntax error with switchmove in my example...;) :P
