Hi! In most languages I can embed a quotation mark in a string simply by inserting an escape character (usually the backslash) in front of it, but that does not work in Blitz. So the question is, how can I print a quote mark while using, for instance, the "Text" command?

Print "hello " +Chr(34)+ "world" +Chr(34)

By writing the ascii code for the character.

Thanks.

This does make the use of TextWidth (for example) on a string with quotes more tedious than it would be if one could simply type an escape character into the string.
