Betreff: Re[2]: [RBASE-L] - Embedded Quote in Variable Text String
Oh. I'm sorry. It's the hour and the beer.
I'm using the [ ] as an R-List display device so that I don't have to leave the
text string hanging in space or surrounded by quote characters which might
introduce their own special brand of confusion.
What I intend a recipient to find in their email:
Come to Bill's Party!
What they're getting:
Come to Bill''s Party!
I am alert to the fact that this variable text string is fed into the RMailX
plugin, whose nuances I am still exploring ...
Thanks, Buddy.

It should work both ways you are doing it. I’ve used both methods and it
works. Can you post how you are adding the brackets.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Embedded Quote in Variable Text String
Seemed simple:
Q: How does one embed a quote character [ ' ] within a text string?
For the RMailX Plugin, wanted to create a variable with the output (within
brackets): [ Come to Bill's Party! ]
SET VAR vInvitation TEXT = ('Come to Bill''s Party!')
... produces [ Come to Bill''s Party! ]
SET VAR vq = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
SET VAR vInvitation TEXT = ('Come to Bill' + .vq + 's Party!')
... produces [ Come to Bill''s Party! ]
I've tried a number of variations, with crashable results; the one constant
being an odd number of [ ' ] within the parens spoils the party.
