I am having trouble with some code i am using to have an input file and have this script go through the file and replace certain strings. But it keeps giving me an error that says: Object required: '[String: &quot;<everything in my input file>&quot;]'

How do you put the character &quot; in a string?

Here is my code that is messing up.
<--

Set fs = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set cab = fs.OpenTextFile(&quot;c:\ben stuff\vbs\cab.txt&quot;, 1)
a1 = &quot;ad&quot;
a2 = &quot;cab&quot;
Set b = cab.ReadAll
Set c = b.Replace(a1, a2)
Set cabed = fs.CreateTextFile(&quot;c:\ben stuff\vbs\cabed.txt&quot;, True)
cabed.writeline(c)
a.Close
cabed.close

Set b = cab.ReadAll
Set c = b.Replace(a1, a2)
Take off the Sets. You are creating a strings, not objects and Replace is a method of a hidden global object.
b = cab.ReadAll
c = Replace(a1, a2)
' &quot;
B = &quot;&quot;&quot;Hello World&quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; ' double up
' or use Chr(34)
B = Chr(34) & &quot;Hello World&quot; & Chr(34)

c = Replace(a1, a2)
That should be
c = Replace(b,a1, a2)
and don't forget the 0=BINARYCOMPARE or 1=TEXTCOMPARE.
Our INSET is slow today so I can't look it up.
c = Replace(b,a1, a2,,0) ' Binary? Case matters
c = Replace(b,a1, a2,,1) ' Text? Case no matter
