write-line to include quote ma

Johntosh · 发表于 2022-7-6 17:05:10

How does one write double quotes to a file?

for example:

(write-line "alpha beta alpha beta "delta" alpha beta alpha beta")

N.B. delta should have double quote marks, I need it all on one line so this discounts write-char (I think)?

Thanks for any help on this

You can concatenate the string using chr(34) wherever you need a quotation. VB recognizes that as the quotation mark.

Check out the 'Control Character in Quoted Strings' topic in the Vlisp help. It is actually a good one.

At least that's how it is listed in A2K help. -David

Following on the above replies, prefix a quote with a backslash to output it as a literal string

\"delta\" will output as "delta"

(write-line "alpha beta alpha beta \"delta \" alpha beta alpha beta")

As in Jammie's example above - the \ (backslash) character prefix will allow the subsequent character to be read as a string instead of a syntax.

i.e.

\\  =  \
\"  =  "
\n  =  new line
\t  =  tab

etc

And so, if you want to specify for example a filepath, one must include the double backslash to indicate a single:

C:\\Users\\Lee Mac\\Documents....

This may also be a way around another problem of spaces in directory names the path stops at a space using lisp, had to resort to VBA to get around it.

C:\\Users\\Lee Mac\\Documents....
or
C:\\Users\\Lee\ Mac\\Documents....
