How do I use certain characters in a string ---> like quotes

faq333-2475

Posted: 19 Sep 02

The following is a listing of all the Character codes available. These can be very helpful and useful when dealing with all aspects of programming from client to server side scripts. They have many advantages but the main is the ease of debugging scripts by taking out the use of many quotes and or other symbols in code simplifying things and avoiding the common misplaced quote of missed quote. Try them out, you won't regret it.

I've put them all in a table so all you need to do is copy and paste this code into notepad and save it as
ChrCodes.htm and then you will have it for a quick and easy reference when you need it.

In case these are completely new to you here is a very simple way you might want to use them
Chr(34) = " so if you wanted to add quotes around something without having to use doubles like this
<% response.write(""" quotes here!""") %>
which looks terrible to me.... do this
<% response.write(chr(34) & "quotes here!" & chr(34)) %>
doesn't that jsut look better!? With just a few more key strokes.

Happy programming
