Zopieux Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hi again, I wonder what is the best way to declare strings : do I have to use double quotes "foo" or single quotes 'foo' ? I ask this question because in the PHP language, it is better to use single quotes, and it could be different with AutoIt... Best regards, Zopieux I'm not English, then please excuse my spelling :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted October 13, 2007 Developers Share Posted October 13, 2007 there is no better in this case ... just convenience that's all... eg: "that's" is easier than 'that''s' SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.

aslani Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I personally have a problem with single quotation since I often confuse them for apostrophe. Example: $var = 'The ball is not mine, it is Jona's Although this doesn't happen to me all the time, I'd use double quotation just to be on the safe side, since after coding hundred of lines, it's hard to find that kind of mistake.
