How to write to file " "

[Mrozu]

Hi
When I try write to file(with StreamWriter) some string, i have some
problem. I can't write text with "". For example i want to wrote
"Hello" . When i make

Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\text.txt")

sw.write("Hello")

..
..
..
..

In my file is Hello, instead of "Hello". How i can write " ??

thx Mrozu

The quotation mark is represented by a character - ASCII number 34.
You can create a character by using Convert.ToChar(34), like so;

Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\TextFile.txt")

sw.Write(Convert.ToChar(34) & "Hello" & Convert.ToChar(34))
I'm sure the experts in this group can suggest better methods...

'sw.Write("""Hello""")'.

You could also do this:

Write("""My text""")
If you put two quotation marks in the place of one inside the text, that does the trick.

Personal preference - to me that makes code very unreadable!

Especially with ASP scripts.

The two outer quotation marks are used to delimit the string literal. Each
quotation mark inside the string literal is encoded by two consecutive quote
characters.
