TheTominator Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) In FileMaker you can precede the quote by a slash character to put it directly into a text string in a calculation. myCalcField = "He said, "Get a job." so I did."

Raybaudi Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yes... myCalcField = "He said, [color:red]''Get a job.[color:red]'' so I did." Note that there are double [color:red]' chars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 In version 6, you can use two quotation marks in succession in order to escape a quote: "He said, ""get a job"" so I did." BTW, this still works in v.7 and later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
