Outputting a string with quotation marks in it. - openeXpressions - 11-21-2011

Hi all! I'd really like to know how to insert a string with double quotes. Example:
Code:
insert("And Dave said, "Look out!"")
VB interprets Look out! as not part of the string. How do I solve this issue? Thanks!

Re: Outputting a string with quotation marks in it. - openeXpressions - 11-21-2011

Sorry folks. Figured it out. Just use double quotes twice.
Code:
insert("And Dave said,""Look out!""")

Thanks for being there to help! I felt very stupid for not using Google first. <!-- sBig Grin --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Very Happy" /><!-- sBig Grin -->

If you ever run into difficulty with this again, the following code will also work:
Code:
insert("And Dave said, " & Chr(34) & "Look out!" & Chr(34))

Thanks! have you gotten any ideas about the Autocomplete?

Autocomplete is on the default textboxes and easy to use ^^

Unfortunately, I have not had any time to look into it. Sorry about that!

He is referring to the autocomplete feature found in Pavel Torgashov's Fast Colored TextBox control.

Would you have any ideas about that, xolara? I'm using it in open eXpressions, and it will probably be used in HTML-IDEx.
