Quotation Marks help

[Nomi]

I'm trying to add the following line to a text file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

As you see, there are double quotes in the line. How do I get Revolution to add those quotes?

if I do

put "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" into variable the double quotes cause issues.

I looked at the docs and on the forum, didn't find a solution.

put "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

try "quote":

Code: Select all

put "<?xml version=" & quote & "1.0" & quote & "encoding=" & quote & "UTF-8" & quote & "?>"

When doing it that way, I find it's a little less wordy to define:

put quote into q
put "Then he said, "&q&"Howdy, pardner!"&q&" and skipped away..." into msg

Still ugly, but down to just 4 extra characters per quote. There's also the function (gah! its name escapes me!) that will parse in-line variables.

function_name_i_forgot( "So I said, [q]Howdy yerself![q] and ignored him." )

Ok, tried

put "<?xml version=" & quote & "1.0" & quote & "encoding=" & quote & "UTF-8" & quote & "?>" in URL "file:world_locations.cfg"

Which looks right to me, however when I try to run the program I am receiving the error message:

Handler: can't find handler
Write Config
Line hint is the above line

I'll admit I'm fairly new to Runtime, but everything seems right to me. Any ideas?

Nevermind! Solved it. One of those headslap errors.

I used the wording in URL instead of into URL

I love programming!

I use the q function, from stdLib.rev:

Code: Select all

put "He said, "&q("Hello")&"."  -- produces:   He said, "Hello".

function q s
  return quote&s&quote
end q
