Filtering out quotes

[arkstar]

I've been reading other posts, but none of the solutions seem to work.
I have a variable myVar="blah blah blah"
I want to remove the quotes so when I put the value into a field it is blah blah blah.

I've tried 'filter myVar without quote' & the replace command.
Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks!!!

Hi Arkstar,

Something like the following script should allow you do strip the quotes from your variable

delete char 1 of myVar
delete char -1 of myVar

Kind Regards,

Hi Robert,

hmm:
...
replace QUOTE with "" in myVar
...
works here for me!?

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
  put QUOTE & "text" & QUOTE into tVar
  put tVar into tVar2
  replace QUOTE with "" in tVar2
  put tVar & CR & tvar2
end mouseUp

Gives me this in the message box:
"text"
text
