how to escape special chars
i am trying to add a custom property which needs quote marks embedded in it thusly...
prop = drawingdoc.addcustominfo3("", propname(11), swcustominfotext, "$prp:\" sw-current sheet\" ")
however, the method i've used in so many other (non sw) places does not work, namely preceding the character with a backslash.
how do i do this in an sw macro?
thanks
never mind, figured it out.
don't escape, replace... chr(34)
perry,
use the chr command:
prop = drawingdoc.addcustominfo3("", propname(11), swcustominfotext, "$prp:" & chr(34) & "sw-current sheet" & chr(34))

if this is vba, two quotes in a row that are inside quotes makes a single quote. for example, assume svar is a string variable
svar = """my string in quotes"""
will put the value
"my string in quotes"
into svar. to take it further:
svar = """""" ' (there's six quote marks in a row) will yield:
""
i'll get you eh steve, if it's the last thing i dooooo!
