Alternative to using Double quotes (" ")
United States	2008-07-09 14:22:46

I am trying to write some VB code for an HTML report. For instance to write <html> in VB I would do this: sw.write("<html>") this works fine. However, I have this code: <h1 align="center"> I am unsure how to handle the "center" because VB knows the Quote as something. So is there an alternative for me?

I don't know VB Script, but if I had to take an (educated?) guess, I would probably tell you to use double double-quotes to surround your center text. In Unix-based programming languages, the escape character is generally a backslash. In Microsoft, I THINK it's using the character twice. So... sw.write("<h1 align=""center"">") -- Steve - Web Applications Developer http://www.sdwebsystems.com On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 12:22 PM, lseldin < larry%40seldin.net">larryseldin.net> wrote: > I am trying to write some VB code for an HTML report. > > For instance to write <html> > > in VB I would do this: sw.write("<html>") > this works fine. > > > However, I have this code: > > <h1 align="center"> > > > I am unsure how to handle the "center" because VB knows the Quote as > something. > > So is there an alternative for me? > > Thank you, >; > - LarryTAKEOUT%40seldin.net">LarryTAKEOUTseldin.net > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (2) Reply (via web post) \| Start a new topic . __,_._,___

That said, some interpreters will balk at the parentheses when calling a sub, so I'd write: sw.Write "<h1 align=""center"">" HTH, -- Geoff __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (4) Reply (via web post) \| Start a new topic . __,_._,___
