hello all,

i'm trying to use fprint to print a line of text with one of these --> " <-- charicters to a file

the line i'm trying to print is this -- Display "test.tiff" "file" rgb"

i have attempted to print it by doing this

fprint $fileId (""Display" + " " + ($ribName) + ".tiff"" + " " + ($file) + " " ($rgb)) ;

but as i'm sure you can guess, syntax error!

any help or ideas would be greatly appricated

thanks

julien

You'll need to escape these characters, prohibiting from being interpreted as special characters. Try this:
fprint $fileId ("Display " + $ribName + " \"test.tiff\"" + " \"" + $file + "\" \"" + $rgb + "\"") ;

You just need to put a slash before the quote.

For example, if you wanted to put the following in a string:

He said "Hello".

You would use:

$string = "He said \"Hello\".";


EDIT: D'OH! Too slow!
