Huh? Eh
Update: I'll assume you're talking about the ' " '. As far as I know, there's no need to error trap quotation marks when getting it from a user's input. Only when out-putting hard-coded text. And in that case, you can go:
code:
put '"Hello," said Mr. Timothy'

I know that. I just tested it in 4.0.5 and apperantly what I posted doesn't work. But in the old 4.0.x it was perfectly possible to post standard *"* in the middle of the sentence using my method. Confused
Update: Or maybe it was 3.11? Bah, who knows.

yo

when the program asks for an input, and the user types in just a quotation:
"
then the program freezes, and the error message is:
No terminating quote for quoted string

code:
var asdf : string
get asdf : *
put asdf
Works for me. Confused

If you've got a string of unnacceptable inputs and you're indexing to see if the user's input is in there, you can use \"
code:
put "\""

The \ basically says that the next character is what it is and doesn't do anything special. So doing \" actually puts the " there, instead of ending the string. Or if you're linking to a file, using \\ actually says use the \, as opposed to making the next character what it is.
In any case, you need to be more specific in your question. I still don't know what you mean.
EDIT: Aah, thanks for the clarification cool. I see what you mean now. It seems the get : * works fine. Smile

Or you can just use a "/" for that. Very Happy
Update: Oops, wrong key.
