eMac Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I am creating a small step-by-step wizard. I created a edit box, within this edit box I want to display the CODE a user should copy/paste into their website for the mod to work. Problem is, my code is quotation marks within it and Autoit sees these as the end of the edit field, is there a way to show the quotation mark by using a special symbol so it ignores that quotation mark and prints it in the edit box?

eMac Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Not sure I totally understand here. Are you trying to convert plain text to HTML? No, heres a demo, think of it has a GUI version of a readme.txt, where my .exe autoit script gives step-by-step instructions on how to add a mod to their site. $ChildGui_3 = GuiCreate("Functions", 400, 260, 5, 5, $WS_POPUP) $step2 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Step 2 - Functions", 0, 70, 380, 60) $step2_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Within your FTP, open '/modules/member.php' and copy/paste the following code at the very bottom of this file right before ?>", 0, 110, 380, 60) $step2_2 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("function my_mood(){" & @CRLF "$info = $GLOBALS["Member"]->info();", 0, 140, 380, 100) GUICtrlSetFont($step2, 9, 800, "", "Arial") GUICtrlSetFont($step2_1, 9, 400, "", "Arial") If you notice line 4 of that code I posted, I have "$info = $GLOBALS["Members"] Well, Autoit sees the " " next to Members as the end of the GuiCtrlCreateEdit, therefore, stopping it. Can I somehow make autoit ignore these two "" and not stop the line into the final " at the end of the code? Basically, it's just the code that will appear in an edit box, they can selectall / copy, and paste into their actual .php file. Codename: Source ProgrammerWhat Is Codename: Source?

therks Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Easiest way is use single quotes (apostrophes) or double the quotes. Two examples here: $string = "He said, ""I don't know,"" while shrugging his shoulders." Or $string = 'He said, "I don''t know," while shrugging his shoulders.' ; Note the doubled single quote in "don't" My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
