GXWorks2 - Quotation mark string constant

[pat.stave]

How can i write a string constant to represent the character " (american quotation mark, ASCII code 34dec).

I've tried the following:

• '"' (single quotation mark, american quotation mark, single quotation mark)
• '$"' (single quotation mark, escape character, american quotation mark)
• """ (american quotation mark, american quotation mark, american quotation mark)
• "$"" (american quotation mark, escape character, american quotation mark, american quotation mark)

None of these are seen as valid by GX Works 2. How do i represent an american quotation mark as a string constant?

Pretty sure the IEC method for entering strings is in single quotes... So try putting your double quote inside a pair of single quotes.

Nope, doesn't work.

Thanks. Ended up doing it in this manner. Not very elegant as i use the character many places (including inside functions that cannot access global labels). But - it works!
