A slightly tangential offering — here's what I use to create strings that contain quotes — it simplifies the tedious and error-prone process of constructing these strings. ------- function qInString pStr, pAltChar -- use for creating strings that contain quotes -- eg, for constructing ask/answer dialogs, error messages, etc. -- default is to use "^" as quote placeholder, can be overridden -- eg, -- qInString("fld ^text^ of card ^apple^ of stack ^fruits^") -- returns: -- fld "text" of card "apple" of stack "fruits" -- shorter, and easier to proofread than -- put "fld" && quote & "text" & quote && "of card" && quote & "apple" \ -- & quote && "of stack" && quote & "fruits" & quote into tStr -- by Peter M. Brigham, pmb...@gmail.com — freeware -- from a handler on the Use-LC list if pAltChar = empty then put "^" into pAltChar replace pAltChar with quote in pStr return pStr end qInString ------- -- Peter Peter M.
