Paul Schrum has brought this to us :
I have cells of "built up" text strings like this:

="xy="&TEXT(O12,"0.0000")&","&TEXT(P12,"0.0000" )


which, when displayed, look like this:
xy=2524950.0000,341717.0000


The problem is, I want the cells to look like this:
CadInputQueue.SendKeyin "xy=2524950.0000,341717.0000"


but Excel interprets the double-quotes as deliminters in the cell
formula. I know how to get around this in a programming language
(using escape sequences), but I can't figure it out in "cell"
language. Do you know how to do it?


Note: The format I am seeking is for copying then pasting into a
Microstation VBA module.

Also posted in microsoft.public.excel.misc, but there does not seem to
be much action over there.

Try this...

Put the cell contents into a string variable and pass that as the arg
for your SendKeyin method.

Example:
Dim sz As String
sz = Cells(?, ?).Value
CadInputQueue.SendKeyin = sz
