Re: Double single quote

[Bao Chau Ngo <bngo@ALDOGROUP.COM>]

Hi Gina.

     I problem is $string contain (winner's choice).  I want to replace the
single
quote to double single quote.  Here what I want to do

translate($string,'''','''''''') ! the result should be (winner''s choice)


Thank in advance.



In SQR to embed a quote inside a literal string you must type the quote
twice inside the literal or use a variable containing a quote to build
your string:

Here are some choices:

  move 'winner''s choice' to $string    ! resulting string is winner's
choice

or
  let $quote = chr(39)  ! or let $quote = ''''  (4 single quotes)

  let $string = 'winner' || $quote || 's choice'

SQR has a similar requirement for exclamation points:

  move 'winner''s choice!!' to $string  ! resulting string is winner's
choice!         !

Hope this helps.
