2 quick questions

[Faleira]

allright, should be relatively simple, 1 is, how do i include quotations within something? for example, i'm doing a stringinstr or msgbox and i want to put quotations inbetween the text area/substring and it screws with the line of code when i do... how do i fix that?

2, is there a way to make 2 functions run at the same time?

1) msgbox(0,"","hello '"@username"'.")
output:
hello 'John Doe'.

for double quotes (") reverse the order

Two possible methods here:

MsgBox(0,"","This is a message with ""quotes"" using the doubled-up method.")
MsgBox(0,"",'And this message with "quotes" uses the double-quotes-within-single-quotes method.')

For more detailed info, look in the help files under Language Reference > Datatypes, and scroll down to the "Strings" section.

B3TA is close:

MsgBox(0, "", "Hello '" & @Username & "'.")

Remember that you can surround strings in either single or double quotes, so when you need to assign something like this to a variable (perhaps for later printing -- note the use of both quotes):

And I said to him, "I'll be back."

You could do it this way (as well as many others):

$Var = 'And I said to him, "I'
; $Var => And I said to him, "I

$Var = $Var & "'ll be back."
; $Var => And I said to him, "I'll be back.

$Var = $Var & '"'
; $Var => And I said to him, "I'll be back."

; Putting them all together:
$Var = 'And I said to him, "I' & "'ll be back." & '"'

; Another way (note the double-ups when we want to use the surrounding quote type within the string):
$Var = 'And I said to him, "I''ll be back."'
$Var = "And I said to him, ""I'll be back."""
