Using quotes in a AppleScript string

Question

I am working with AppleScript and need to do this:

set TextToWrite to \" #!/bin/bash cd \"$( dirname \"$0\" )\" java -server -Xmx4G -jar ./craftbukkit.jar\"          


        

Answer 1

Using quotes in applescript is quite easy you just need to make the line end and start in quotes

E.G

display dialog "hello world"

but when you decide to put a variable in the text you must use &

set my_name to "michael"

display dialog "hello" & my_name

thankyou
