Multiline Strings

[motionman95]

You have for example the string "'Mary' had a little "lamb", its nose 'was' "red" and 'white'"

Would it matter to your script if it were ""Mary" had a little "lamb", its nose "was" "red" and "white""

?

Yes, it would. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm a bit confused...

You just want a way to manually construct one of these peculiar strings, hardcoded into your source, and assign it to a variable??

$q = Chr(34)
$string = "My 'nick' on 'AutoIt' is " & $q & $q & " " & $q & "Spiff59" & $q
MsgBox(1,"",$string)

Ok, can you clear something up, if it is changing so often, them why do you have it hard coded into the script?

Shirley it would make more sense to have it read in from a file. If you distrabuting your script you could use fileinstall or even add it as a resource.

Just put the text into a text file and do a simple FileRead. You say it will be used on multiple PCs, so just include the text file when you compile it.
