printing a quotation mark in a text file
Hello,
please help with producing something like this in a text file from VBA: aaa "bbb" I am trying with exestr="aaa \"bbb\"" Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("H:\qq.bat", True) a.writeline (exestr) a.Close It is a question of escaping characters in VBA. Or if you could tell me how to pass an argument containing spaces to a script (python,perl,R) from VBA? |
