Ummm, can't figure this out. I'm writing text calculations and cant seem to get my quotes inside of the "quotes" function. For example if I wanted to add "<xml version="1.0">" to a calculation, how do i do this without filemaker thinking I am terminating the quotes at the first quote. IF it helps in a perl script you would make it "xml version=/"1.0/">" Is there a similar way to do this so FM doesn't terminate my strings prematurally???

Thanks

-confessed and utter newbie

Escape a quote with

"<xml version="1.0">"

Oh, oh.

By the time I replied to your post, Queue had already beat me to the punch (not unusual as he types faster me). But, it also helps him to be more Clairvoyant then me? Cause I'll be darned if I can figure out how he figured you were using v7???

I may be wrong, but he mentioned the Quote function, which is available in version 7.

I'm sorry, We're still on FM5 here, I might have mispoke when i said "quote function". I just need to add a couple of strings with quotation marks in them. No bother I just created a field with a single " in it, and Ill just reference that. A little extra typing...

thanks

You need to update your profile to reflect your current Platform, OS and Version of FileMaker so that we don't have this problem again. You can do that my clicking on the word [color:"blue"]profile in the section below your name on the left.

Fixed, sorry. I recently switched from a job where they were running 7, to one running 5, which caused my initial confusion. Nothing like the old fashioned work-arounds.

Thanks
