How to add apostrophe (") to string?

Question

I have this AutoIt script:

ControlFocus(\"Open\", \"\", \"Edit1\")
Sleep(500)
ControlSetText(\"Open\", \"\", \"Edit1\", $CmdLine[1])
Sleep(500)
ControlClick(\"Op         


        

Answer 1

I tried ControlSetText("Open", "", "Edit1", $CmdLine[1] & """) but this results into error: Unterminated string..

No attempt to add double quote before $CmdLine[1] was made (only after).

I want to add " before and after my string …

As per Documentation - Intro - Datatypes - Strings:

If you want a string to actually contain a double-quote use it twice …

You can also use single-quotes …

1. Double double-quote

   As per Documentation - FAQ - 3. Why do I get errors when I try and use double quotes (") ?:

   If you want to use double-quotes inside a string then you must "double them up". So for every one quote you want you should use two. …

   • " becomes:

     $sString = """"

   • This is a "quoted" string. becomes:

     $sString = "This is a ""quoted"" string.".

2. Single quote

   As per Documentation - FAQ - 3. Why do I get errors when I try and use double quotes (") ?:

   … or use single quotes instead: …

   • " becomes:

     $sString = '"'

   • This is a "quoted" string. becomes:

     $sString = 'This is a "quoted" string.'.

3. ASCII code

   As per Documentation - Function Reference - Chr() :

   Returns a character corresponding to an ASCII code.

   • " becomes:

     $sString = Chr(34)

   • 34 is the " -sign's ASCII code, so This is a "quoted" string. becomes:

     $sString = "This is a " & Chr(34) & "quoted" & Chr(34) & " string."

   • Or per StringFormat() :

     $sString = StringFormat("This is a %squoted%s string.", Chr(34), Chr(34))
