A '''quotation mark''' delimits the start and end of a literal [[STRING]] value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
''Usage:'' string_value$ = "This is a text STRING."
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The quotation mark must delimit the ends of a string or text prompt in a [[PRINT]], [[WRITE]], [[INPUT]] or [[LINE INPUT]] statement.
|
|
* The IDE may add a missing quotation mark at the end of a [[SUB|statement]] or [[FUNCTION|function]].
|
|
* [[LINE INPUT]] allows quotation marks to be entered as user input. The [[LINE INPUT (file statement)]] can transfer quotation marks.
|
|
* Quotation marks should be used when [[comma]]s are used in a literal [[WRITE]] or [[INPUT (file statement)]] text string.
|
|
* To insert quotation marks in a [[PRINT]] statement insert [[CHR$]](34) using string [[concatenation]] or [[semicolon]]s.
|
|
* String values can be [[concatenation|concatenated]] or added using the plus ([[+]]) operator. Cannot be used to combine numerical values!
|
|
* Concatenation MUST be used when combining literal [[STRING|string]] values in a variable definition.
|
|
* String values can be combined with other string or numerical values using [[semicolon]]s or [[comma]] tabs in a PRINT statement.
|
|
* Literal [[DATA]] strings do not require quotation marks unless the value is a keyword, uses commas or has end spaces.
