Do a google search for escape chars or escape sequences.

You would use the escape character. Replace every instance of " that you want to print with \". Some other common escape sequences are:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. \n - Prints a newline.
  2. \t - Prints a horizontal tab - usually 8 spaces.
  3. \' - Prints an apostrophe '
  4. \" Prints a qoutation mark "
  5. \\ - Prints a backslash character (since it is used for escape sequences, it must have its own!) \
  6. \0 - Null chcracter, used to signal end of cstrings
