Problem with " " char in WriteFile

[FaridAgl]

Hi Guys, i hope my topic was not against rules!

Func Server1()
    $Server1 = IniRead("Server.ini","Server","Server 1","4.2.2.4")

    $Server = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" ?>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "<servers>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "<cur>Server 1</cur>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "<server name=""Sever 1"" ip=" & $Server1 & " rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "</servers>"

    FileWrite("Server.xml", $Server)
EndFunc

It's my code, as you can see i just read some variable from an existing .ini file using IniRead, and then i'm trying to make some kind of text generator (It's .xml).

everything is ok but the only problem i have is in the final XML file " " is missed just where i write my variable.

what it give:

<server name="Serever 1" ip=4.2.2.4 rate="25"/>

what i need:

<server name="Server 1" ip="4.2.2.4" rate="25"/>

Guys i think i found it, btw is there any better way?

i did this and my code is working:

Func Server1()
    $Server1 = IniRead("Server.ini","Server","Server 1","4.2.2.4")

    $Server = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""UTF-8"" ?>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "<servers>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "<cur>Server 1</cur>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "<server name=""Sever 1"" ip=" & '"' & $Server1 & '"' & " rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF
    $Server &= "</servers>"

    FileWrite("Server.xml", $Server)
EndFunc

hi D4RKON3,

Your topic is fine

There is no need to mix single and double quotes to achieve this, you were so close to the solution!

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=" & $Server1 & " rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

The concatenation seems to have confused you, you successfully encapsulated the name by doubling up on the double quotes, but you faltered at the IP.

Lets do it in steps, 1st with no variable IP:

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=""0.0.0.0"" rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

This should put the quotes around the IP as you wanted.

Now if you wanted to put a variable between server and name you would do this right?

$Server &= "<server " & $variable & "name=""Server 1"" ip=""0.0.0.0"" rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

So to replace 0.0.0.0 with a variable, replace 0.0.0.0 with " & $variable & " right? This gives:

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=""" & $Server1 & """ rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

Simple right?

Hope this clears some things up

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=""" & $Server1 & """ rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

$Server &= '<server name="Sever 1" ip="' & $Server1 & '" rate="25"/>' & @CRLF

you mean ' instead of " or im missing the point?

@bogQ,

The op wanted the output to look like this:

<server name="Server 1" ip="0.0.0.0" rate="25"/>

To achieve that he tried this:

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=" & $Server1 & " rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

instead of this:

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=""" & $Server1 & """ rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

then maybe he was frustrated with double quotes so he did this:

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=" & '"' & $Server1 & '"' & " rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

I was just showing how he could've done it using double quotes alone, as that seemed to be his original plan

Exactly what i was searching for, tnx so much and it's done.

ouh, ok i see, ty smartee , so i did miss the point after all ^^

but still think that

$Server &= '<server name="Sever 1" ip="' & $Server1 & '" rate="25"/>' & @CRLF

its easyer than

$Server &= "<server name=""Server 1"" ip=""" & $Server1 & """ rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

newer the less the results are identical so what ever is easyer for him to understand is the best choice for him

Try:

$Server &= "<server name=" & chr(34) & "Sever 1" & chr(34) & " ip=" & chr(34) & "" & $Server1 & " & chr(34) & "rate=" & chr(34) & "25" & chr(34) & "/>" & @CRLF

If you want write " to file always use function

chr(34)

I found quad quotes ("""") work for me:

$Server &= "<server name=""Sever 1"" ip=" & $Server1 & " rate=""25""/>" & @CRLF

becomes:

$Server &= "<server name=" & """" & "Sever 1" & """" & " ip=" & $Server1 & " rate=" & """" & "25" & """" & "/>" & @CRLF

I'll have to look into the previous posts on how to wrap quotes around variables to see how that works.
