How do you concatenate a string which include " " ?

I am trying to create a string which will end up as ...

gResStart is a string = HTTPRequest("[www.galco.com]

I am passing in 2 parameters to the procedure:

1. HTTP string (http://www.galco.com/scripts/cgiip.exe/wa/wcat/catalog.htm?searchbox=)
2. the part number (FZ1600)

BUT ... they need to be enclosed by the quotes " " ...

I have tried single quotes around the double quotes but everything I have tried ends up as an error or what is between the set of quotes is taken literally, not as the value of the variables??

Here is what I have tried ... (at least the one I thought made the most sense)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
webaddress is a string = (StockCheckString + PartNumber)
gResStart is a string = HTTPRequest(" + webaddress + ")
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

help ... please ...

Dan,

To insert a double qoute into a string use Charact(34).

I tried this ...

sStockCheckURL is a string = "[www.galco.com];
sPartToFind is a string = "FZ1600"
gResStart = HTTPRequest(Charact(34) + sStockCheckURL + sPartToFind + Charact(34))

... and I get no results back.

Can you provide more of an explanation or even an example.

thanks ... Dan

Hi there,

Have you tried using ""string to enter""

ie MyParam is string = "Hairy"
MyStr = "hello """ + MyParam + """"

should be 'hello "Hairy"'

I havenot tested this just typed it in, but it should work...

Hi Dan,

Try not using quotes. It is not necessary.

Regards,

Piet,

I believe this is an example where the Quotes are necessary ...

what do I do now ... ?

sPriceBreakQty = ExtractString(ExtractString(sAPriceBreakLine, 1, "[/td]"),2,"[td width="50%" align="center class"="regprice"]")

I need to enclose the

[td width="50%" align="center class"="regprice"]

in quotes to define the extraction string BUT there are quotes in the HTML surrounding 3 of the pieces of data??

How do I deal with this situation?

Dan

Hi. Replace the " char with a pair ""

sPriceBreakQty = ExtractString(ExtractString(sAPriceBreakLine, 1, "[/td]"),2,"[td width=""50%"" align=""center"" class=""regprice""]")

That did the trick !!! ... Thank you Ruben
