Anytime you need to print double quotes you can use 2 double quotes as an escape character, like so:

Response.Write "myvar=[highlight]""[/highlight]2345[highlight]""[/highlight]"

This works the same when printing to files as well. (The response.Write was just an easier example )

It's not wrking with the files...
My code is given below

Filename="test.txt"
Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set WriteStuff = myFSO.OpenTextFile(FileName, 2, True)

myvar=1234
Stuff=myvar
WriteStuff.WriteLine(Stuff)

Now in test.txt , it shld print "1234"

Add the ASCII code for quotes to the variable

stuff = chr(34) & stuff & chr(34)

Chris.

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?

Quotes don't auto-magically apear, you have to add them.

Also, if you want "1234" in the text file your close, if you want myvar="1234" in the file, you have a logic error.

myvar=1234
Stuff=myvar         
WriteStuff.WriteLine(Stuff)

[b]Should be:[/b]
Stuff = "myvar=""1234"""
WriteStuff.WriteLine(Stuff)

1234 in you code isn't even a string, it's a number (no quotes around it). Setting myvar = 1234 and then setting Stuff = myvar means that Stuff is now storing the number 1234, nothing more and nothing less.
