Put quotes around a variable string in JavaScript

Question

I have a JavaScript variable:

var text = \"http://example.com\"

Text can be multiple links. How can I put \'\' around the variable string?<

Answer 1

To represent the text below in JavaScript:

"'http://example.com'"

Use:

"\"'http://example.com'\""

Or:

'"\'http://example.com\'"'

Note that: We always need to escape the quote that we are surrounding the string with using \

General Pointers:

• You can use quotes inside a string, as long as they don't match the quotes surrounding the string:

Example

var answer="It's alright";
var answer="He is called 'Johnny'";
var answer='He is called "Johnny"';

• Or you can put quotes inside a string by using the \ escape character:

Example

var answer='It\'s alright';
var answer="He is called \"Johnny\"";

• Or you can use a combination of both as shown on top.
