Double quote inside string

a newbie question.

How do I get a double quote as part of a string value?

var:string testString="\\"a quote\\"";

doesn’t work.

I’d expect to see it evaluate to be

“a quote”

what is the best practice to enclose double quotes within a string value? I couldn’t figure this out using atbref

(I think in my post I’m using the curly quotes but in the stamp I’m not)

thanks, Frederick

I think the normal method is to nest single and double quotes:

$Name = ' "Name with quotes" '

(I’ve used spaces between to make it clear here, but obviously, they’re not needed really.)

Right you are! I thought I tried that before, must have been a mistake in my action code. Works fine in a simple stamp.

thanks!
