Within my Mapbasic application I want to run an SQL command via Run Command. Simplified the SQL command looks like : Select * From Table Where Id="abc" So I need to generate a String, like String= "Select * From Table Where Id="abc" " This fails, because of the combination of "'s. Anyone knows how I can tell MapBasic that I really want the character " in my String (\" does not work). Thanks a lot!
