Quotation marks in a string
« on: Dec 4th, 2004, 11:39pm » |

Hi,
i am trying to use the saveStrings(); function to output SMIL code to a text file. SMIL code looks a lot like XML with things like:
width="310" height="200"
inside of tags. The only problem is how to I include the "quotation marks" inside a string if they are used to indicate the start and end of a string. Like:
myString = "the stuff inside the string";
Thanks
Jay

You should be able to escape quotes in strings with a backslash:
Code:
println("\"this is in quotes\"");
println("only \"this\" is in quotes");
|

Hopefully that makes sense.

It's worth noting that because backslash is a special character in strings, you have to double it up if you want to output one.
Code:
println("here is a backslash: \\");
println("here are 2 backslashes: \\\\");
