Re: Use of single quotes and ! within quotes

[John Kellogg <johnk@SUN4.MITI.COM>]

     Use double single quotes or double exclamation mark. For example:

     let $string_with_quotes = '''This string is quoted'''

     let $string_with_em = 'This string has an exclamation mark!!'

Dear all,

How can I enter a single quote or exclaimation mark (!) within quotes in SQR,
so I can print these things out on a report.

Adding a sigle quote ends the string, and the system takes everything after !
as a comment.

Is there some escape sequence etc to cater for this?
