Hi, I have to search for the " sign. I used Instr like this: Instr(a,""") I was sure I'd become an error, but I don't know how to handle this. Thanks. |

Instr (a,Chr(34)) |

Thank you! badger |

or use ~q Speaking of which, what on earth is wrong with using traditional \" escape sequences?!?I mean is there actually a rationale as to why BRL went out of their way to make it different than every other programming language in the world ever? *sigh* I'll be using Chr(). It's oldskool! |

Thanks to MS, '\' is actually a pretty common character in strings, and I didn't want to deal with the inevitable 'why doesn't "c:\myfile" work' complaints! Also, I personally don't like the \" sequence - it's too hard to spot against the 'real' delimiter, eg: "\"\"" vs "~q~q", I prefer the second. |

I like the BMax escape sequences as well actually, for exactly the same reason as Mark posted. So thank you Mark :) |
