Quote characters in Strings

Hi,
in VB6 I can use double quotes inside a String.

Example:

Source code

 
1

  Msgbox "He said ""hello, sailor!"" to me ..."


In Jabaco, I have to use Chr(34) instead?

Source code

 
1

  Msgbox "He said " & Chr(34) & "hello, sailor!" & Chr(34) & " to me ..."


I have tried "\"", but this does'nt work either.

Am I missing something?

Cheers!

Hello A1880,
no solution for your problem, but a small hint how to use escape sequences with Jabaco. Look here for a great collection of Java components. Here a small example how to use the unescape function in the Lang component:

'-Begin-----------------------------------------------------------------

  Function unesc(myString As String) As String
    Dim strWriter As java#io#StringWriter
    If Len(myString) > 0 Then
      strWriter = New java#io#StringWriter(Len(myString))
      org#apache#commons#lang#StringEscapeUtils.unescapeJava(strWriter, myString)
      unesc = strWriter.toString()
    End If
  End Function  

  Public Sub main(ByJava args() As String)

    Dim myArgs() As String
    myArgs = args
    
    MsgBox unesc("Dies ist \nein Test")

  End Sub

'-End-------------------------------------------------------------------


But the \" does not work - it is a pity.

Cheers
Stefan
