[Guest_imported]

Thank you in advance for any help!!!
I tried to write a program in text file and one of variables was of type char.The problem is,I can´t give a variable an initial value,cos I don´t have A SINGLE QUOTE CHARACTER on my keyboard.I tried all of combinations and all I got was ´ and `,but those two compiler wont except and the ALT+CTRL+Kode or ALT+KODE also won´t work.How do I get a single quote?Please help.

Hi,

Try using the "ALT-key method": press the (left) ALT-key and type the corresponding ascii-code for the character you want USING THE NUMBER KEYPAD and release the ALT-key again.

I just successfully inserted a straight single quote character into a Notepad document by ALT+039. This should work fine with any Windows+compatible software.

See

http://www.december.com/html/spec/ascii.html

for a list of ascii codes. (NOTE: you should use the DECIMAL code number, not octal or hexadecimal!)

Hope this helps!

Maybe you can try to install a new keyboard layout (such as US 101, or whichever is closest to yours), and allow the switch between layouts with Alt+Shift, or Ctrl+Shift, and switch to this new layout when you code.

Start->Settings->Control Panel->Keyboard ... (The rest depends on your version of Windows)
