RE: [Talk] Escape character for quotes

[Bates, Bradley M.]

Are the "Smart Quotes" both chr(148), or is the Open Quote chr(34) and the Close Quote chr(148)?     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Paul Brungardt Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 08:53 To: Talk@BOSTONWORKSTATION.COM Subject: RE: [Talk] Escape character for quotes Thank you to all who responded!  I took me awhile to get a chance to try your suggestions.   I found that this line of code answered my question: If InStr(D("Paragraph"), chr(34)) Then 'ascii value of double quote   But….. that my problem was still not solved!  I found out that what looked like a quote in a Word document was unrecognized by BW.  Using a hex editor, I found out that the character I wanted to block was really 148.  So I used that instead of the 34.  Also, for those of you who are interested, I believe my unrecognized character is a “smart quote” from MS Word.   Thanks Again!
