QUOTE

Usage

--Lingo syntax
QUOTE

// JavaScript syntax

Description

Constant; represents the quotation mark character and refers to the literal quotation mark character in a string, because the quotation mark character itself is used by Lingo scripts to delimit strings.

Example

This statement inserts quotation mark characters in a string:

-- Lingo syntax
put("Can you spell" && QUOTE & "Adobe" & QUOTE & "?")

// JavaScript syntax
put("Can you spell \"Adobe\"?");

The result is a set of quotation marks around the word Adobe:

Can you spell "Adobe"?
