You can 'escape' a " character by using it twice.

$var = "Yes, ""Manadar"" is quite awesome."

MsgBox(0,"", $var)

Will show a messagebox saying:

Yes, "Manadar" is quite awesome.

use ' instead of "" for the outer ones...

Not sure if this is the problem your having...

oh man i'm so stupid

[jvanegmond]

oh man i'm so stupid

It works for a ' character too.

Make a string like so:

$var = 'oh man i''m so stupid'

Another method is just to alternate between the two:

$var = 'Yes, "Manadar" is quite awesome.'

Or

$var = "oh man i'm stupid"

$var = "Yes, ""Manadar"" is quite awesome."

This still doesn't look correct although I can't put my finger on it what is "wrong" with it.

Maybe you should update Au3Check then. AutoIt has no problems with my awesomeness.
