Outputting quotation marks

-----------------------------------

How do you output quotation marks using Font.Draw and put?

For example: how would I output the text put "hello" (with the quotation marks)?

do you mean I have to write it like this?

put "''hello''"

you can put a \ before the quotes and it will work

for ex.


put "\"hello\""

nevermind.  I found another way.

You can either use your way (which works fine and I appreciate the help) or you can use a slash before the quotation marks you want to be outputted.

example: put "\"hi\""

works the same way with Font.Draw

-----------------------------------

using put you can do something similar by using 2 ' instead of "

put "''Who Goes There?''" 

or you can use the ASCII value of "" via chr() function in this case it'd be put chr(34)

put chr(34), "Who Goes There", chr(34)

this works also for Font.Draw

enjoy :)
