'------------------------------------------------------ 'How To: : Write quotation marks to a text file 'Posted: 07-July-98 '------------------------------------------------------ Q: I need to add a line similar to the following to a text file using Visual Basic 5.0 and can`t get the quotation marks to work.   set var b "george"     A: Try to join the string with the embedded "chr(34)" like so:   String = String & chr(34) & " Hello " & chr(34) & "!" Print String   this would look like:   "Hello"!   A: As far as I know (and that`s not all that far), you cannot include a quotation in a string by typing it in. VB, of course, considers it to be one of the string`s delimiters. However, you can include a Chr$(34), which is the ascii value for the quotation mark. Better, you might add the quotes when you write the string out to the file:   MyStr = "George"   Print #1, Chr$(34) & MyStr & Chr$(34)   Hth,   Bob Walsh Downloads In IE right-click and select 'Save Target As...' or in Netscape right-click and select 'Save Link As...'    View Plain Text  Not Available  Not Available
