Inserting quotation marks in a string


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I am wondering if there is a way to insert a quotation mark in a string of text stored in a log or pushed as a message. For example, Can I send “Text with quotes”?

2) What is the expected behaviour?

Sure, just put ‘\’ in front of it. like this:

I wanted to say \“hello\”

should look like this:

I wanted to say “hello”

If you use an Expression box, then you can use single quotes for normal text, and double quotes for quoted text.

Which sends me this in an SMS:

Pro Tip:

This also works in reverse…

If you need to use an apostrophe (such as it’s), then your expression can start / end with double quotes…

As far as I know, we cannot do both methods in the same message though…
