The need occasionally arises to embed a double-quote or other characters inside a text string in an InduSoft Web Studio project. Since defining text strings are normally done by putting the string to be saved within double-quotes, it is not simply a matter of putting a double-quote or other non-printable characters inside double-quotes (“”"). If you attempt it, an error will be returned.
The most common method for embedding a double-quote character in a text string is by concatenation. This method will work in virtually all cases:
$sExampleStringTag = “This is a double-quote character: ” + $Asc2Str(34) + ” .”
String Result: This is a double-quote character: ” .
Using an ASCII Character Table (Web search for “ASCII Character Table”), it is possible to find any ASCII character, even unprintable ones, and embed them into a text string using concatenation. Using the decimal value of the ASCII Code, use the function ASC2Str() and enter the value inside the parentheses.
