Escaping the quote in a string

seb

Hi,

is there a way to escape the quote character in a string?

If I do something like

DATA "MY string ""is not over"

I want to have a quote in the string but, doubling it does not.
I tried also with the \ character before.

Does anybody know if it is possible?


Thanks,

Chris Savage

Hello,

·· You must use the ASCII value for the character in your DATA statement as follows:

DATA "MY string ",·34,"is not over"

For readability you may want to define a constant like QUOTE to be 34: DATA "My string ", QUOTE,"is not over"
