Variable followed by single quote?

[x942]

I am trying to create an app the calls adb.exe and runs a special command but I am having issues here:

Code: Select all

 "adb shell su -c 'vdc cryptfs pde wipe" && decoyVariable && HiddenVariable & ' 

This doesn't work because of the last single quote. How do I get that quote added to the end of the line after both variables? That single quote is needed adb shell tries to execute each word after -c as a separative command. In C# I would do

Code: Select all

 var encrypt = Proccess.Start("cmd","adb shell su -c 'vdc cryptfs pde wipe" +decoyVariable + HiddenVariable + "'") 

where the last single quote is enclosed in double quotes. is that the same in LiveCode? Would I encase it in double quotes?

Many thanks,

x942

Yes, or you can use the constant: Quote

Code: Select all

  adb shell su -c 'vdc cryptfs pde wipe" && decoyVariable && HiddenVariable & "'"
or
  adb shell su -c 'vdc cryptfs pde wipe" && decoyVariable && HiddenVariable & QUOTE

Maybe I can learn something here:

...wipe"...

What does a single double quote do?

Typo There is also a double quote in the front.

Thanks for the answer! Everything works.

Perfect. I think I had used QUOTE with double & so it didn't work. It works now though
