Greetings

anyone know what the escape sequence for " is in VBScript. The JavaScript/JScript equivalent is \".

Thanks

Turns out you can use Chr(34)
e.g. Response.Write("<TABLE WIDTH=" &Chr(34)& "300" &Chr(34)& ">")
will write
<TABLE WIDTH="300"> to the screen

all the best

Hi

I have a similar problem and have tried the Char(34) option. Basicaly I am using a html to create the body of an email. All works fine with normal HTML but I am now trying to use Cascading style sheet code to keep the formating ( Bold colour ) of my text ( I pull the formatted text from by database already in CSS code). The CSS code uses quotation marks in its code. I have also tried using single quotes with no joy.

My vbs code works ok with both Char(34) and single quotation marks but in the body of my email I loose the formating. Is there another option to escape the quotation marks that will allow the formatting to be retained. Below is my code

Dim OutApp
Dim OutMail
Dim strbody
Dim SigString
Dim Signature
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
OutApp.Session.Logon
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
On Error Resume Next
With OutMail
.To = "sandra@sublime-solutions.co.uk"
.CC = ""
.BCC = ""
.Subject = "Attached CVs"
.HTMLBody = "<HTML><body>Hi Derek Thank you very much for taking the time to interview </BODY></HTML>"
.Display
End With
On Error GoTo 0
Set OutMail = Nothing
Set OutApp = Nothing
