Zugg Software :: View topic - Escape character to prevent quotes from evaluating?

Posted: Wed Dec 06, 2006 8:21 pm

If I have a variable such as:

#var myvar {This is "a sample" line.}

Is there a way to escape the quotes so that they do not evaluate to this:

This is a sample line.

So I can't do thing properly like #if(@myvar == "This is "a sample" line.") properly.

I've tried \ and ~ and " but nothing seems to escape this so it doesn't evaluate. I'm assuming if I can find the appropriate character I can do a simple subregex to escape the characters.

try using
#var myvar {This is ~"a sample~" line.}
to set the value

and
%quote(@myvar)
to use it later
