How do I include " as text in an expression?

[LaraSoft]

Hello everyone. I know that " " is used to separate text from other variables in the expression editor but I have a small problem.

I'm trying to have my application generate a vbs script. At one point, I need the Rich Edit Object to 'Set Text' as:

Set objOU = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Customer Contacts,dc=example,dc=domain,dc=co,dc=uk")

The problem is, I need to include those " in the code. The expression editor thinks I'm closing and opening text strings? What I want to happen is the Rich Edit Object to display the whole line, above, exactly as it is; speech marks and everything

Is there any way that I can exempt that from happening, like in PHP you can use a \" to make the " do something different?

Thanks

put " twice...

"Set objOU = GetObject(""LDAP://OU=Customer Contacts,dc=example,dc=domain,dc=co,dc=uk"")"

I tried that before but it didn't seem to like it. It was probably me missing a " somewhere, hehe. I'll try again thanks

I would try to create a string object and set it alterable string to " . Then you could replace " in the expression by: Str$("String").

Writing "" in the expression editor works well, there's no need of using a string object. If you want to put this text in a edit box:

I say "Hello"

using the expression editor, you'll have to write:

"I say ""Hello"""

wastes CPU and RAM for idleing purposes

The full guide to the " sign:

A string will be printed as typed when it's surrounded by two "s:

"Hello" -> Hello

You may add an actual " sign in the text by typing "" instead of it:

"LIJI said ""It is Jeff's fault""." -> LIJI said "It is Jeff's fault".

"""This is a text""" -> "This is a text"

You can also add a singal " this way:

"""" -> "

Or in actual use

"Text A "+""""+" Text B" -> Text A " Text B

I hope it helps.

He he thanks for this. I had used the " before as discussed but I must have missed one out as it wasn't working for me before - It is now

Thanks anyway though
