How to put quotes within a quoted string?

How do I put "" into a Note?

Note "Bob said to sharon "You know, we should go see a movie tonight....""

I think that VB script uses "" to mean ". So if you wanted to post the below, you'd have to write:

Note "Bob said to sharon "You know ... """. That way, of the three quotation marks, two will be interpreted to mean "insert a quotation mark into the string here".

In some languages you can escape the quote with backslash. Lua and Jscript spring to mind.

eg.

Note "Bob said to sharon \"You know, we should go see a movie tonight....\""

This is really a language-specific issue. Read the documentation for the language you are using to see how to put quotes within quotes.

In Lua, you can use the other quote, like this:

Note 'Bob said to sharon "You know, we should go see a movie tonight...."'

This assumes, of course, you don't want single quotes inside the string too. If you did, you would then need to resort to the backslash trick.

In any language you can also concatenate Chr(34) into the string:

VBScript: Note "WillFa thought " & chr(34) & "This is a tedious way to do it." & chr(34)

In Python you can use triple quotes to give formatted text:

world.Note("""WillFa thought "This way
I can even insert new lines without escaping them."""")
