Moderators Melba23 Posted August 3, 2012 Moderators Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) horne,From the Help file:StringsStrings are enclosed in double-quotes like "this". If you want a string to actually contain a double-quote use it twice like: "here is a ""double-quote"" - ok?"You can also use single-quotes like 'this' and 'here is a ' 'single-quote' ' - ok?'You can mix quote types to make for easier working and to avoid having to double-up your quotes to get what you want. For example if you want to use a lot of double-quotes in your strings then you should use single-quotes for declaring them: 'This "sentence" contains "lots" of "double-quotes" does it not?'is much simpler than: "This ""sentence"" contains ""lots"" of ""double-quotes"" does it not?"All clear?

SeanMaloney Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 How should I write two sets of double quotes in a string? For example, I want to pass the following to the command line: "%Temp%VirusScanSetupVSE.Exe" /qb PRESERVESETTINGS="" With previous versions of AutoIt, I'm pretty sure the following would work: RunWait('"%Temp%VirusScanSetupVSE.Exe" /qb PRESERVESETTINGS=""""') But now, when adding the "Command Line" column to Task Manager, I can see all four double-quotes passed at the end of the line. Is a double-quote no longer the escape character for a double-quote?
jdelaney Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 the answer is in the post right above yours :/You can mix quote types to make for easier working and to avoid having to double-up your quotes to get what you want. For example if you want to use a lot of double-quotes in your strings then you should use single-quotes for declaring them:'This "sentence" contains "lots" of "double-quotes" does it not?'

guinness Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I've adopted the standard practice of using single quotes as it makes life easier when using double quotes. Also it's best to start a new topic and not resurrect an old one. Well then again reading the help file would've have been a better option of the two.

SeanMaloney Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Maybe I wasn't clear. I want to pass a *pair* of double quotes to the command line without the first double quote escaping the second. In my example code I used single quotes to enclose the entire string. Here is my desired string. See the pair of double quotes at the end? "%Temp%VirusScanSetupVSE.Exe" /qb PRESERVESETTINGS="" If I simply surround the string with single quotes, the last double quote is stripped off. This doesn't work: RunWait('"%Temp%VirusScanSetupVSE.Exe" /qb PRESERVESETTINGS=""') This used to work, but not with the latest version of AutoIt: RunWait('"%Temp%VirusScanSetupVSE.Exe" /qb PRESERVESETTINGS=""""') So I'd like to know what is the 'proper' method of passing consequtive double quotes? I can't find anything in the documentation about it.
SeanMaloney Posted September 26, 2012 Posted September 26, 2012 Ugh. It looks like double quotes no longer escape double quotes when enclosed in single quotes. I should have tried that.It looks like this was a bug in SciTE (the obfuscator), not AutoIt, and I must have only read the changelog for AutoIt."Fixed bug with 2 double Quotes withing a doublequoted string"http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/docs/history.htmThis also affects 2 double quotes withing a single quoted string, and it's definitely a code breaker.
BrewManNH Posted September 27, 2012 Posted September 27, 2012 That bug fix was for Obfuscator, it has nothing to do with AutoIt's functionality. Here's the result of that string above when run through a consolewrite ConsoleWrite('"%Temp%VirusScanSetupVSE.Exe" /qb PRESERVESETTINGS=""' & @CRLF) ; This is the result of the above, copied directly from your script ; "%Temp%VirusScanSetupVSE.Exe" /qb PRESERVESETTINGS="" If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
