Hello, I was wondering if it was possible at all to use "Quotation Marks" within a String, or any other kind of variable for that matter.

Here is my problem. I want to use CreateAProcess to run a simple copy or move file operation. I've figured out exactly what I want that Command Prompt (cmd) line to say. However, here's my issue. When using a command like say MOVE or COPY, and you're specifying your directories or filenames Windows does not like spaces, and it will often if not always return you a syntax error. The solution? You have to surround your filenames or directories (folders) with quotation marks. Here's an example:

C:\>move C:\Users\User\Pictures\aactionsprinkler\site-icon-retro.png C:\Users\User\"Google Drive"\"AAction Photos"\
 

See how I had to put quotation marks around those last two folders?

My problem is that, in Sesame Designer Program Editor, or sBasic in general I cannot put quotation marks within quotation marks.

All I can come up with for now or figure out, is that I might need to use FileWrite to somehow create a .txt file with the exact text I want then use FileRead or ASyncShell or something to plug it back into Sesame.

If anybody's got any ideas or suggestions I'm all ears.

Found my answer. Thank goodness for ASCII.

var vDir as String
var vFolder as String

vFolder = Record_ID

vQuote = @CHR(34)
vDir = "C:\Users\User\""Google Drive""\ + @CHR(34)  + vFolder + @CHR(34)
 

I also found that you could use "" like that in some instances and that would give you quotes as well, but not in the instance of having to add to a variable.

Cool, thanks, I'll try that.
