Escape Double Quote Problem

[netman06]

Hello,

I'm having trouble figuring out how to add a single double quote in my string.

My Code line

String Commandstr1 = @"C:\Temp\eventcombMT.exe" + " /file:" + "\"" + @"C:\Temp\servers.txt";

This is what debug looks like:

Commandstr1 "C:\\Temp\\eventcombMT.exe /file:\"C:\\Temp\\servers.txt" string

See that it is adding the unneeded \ after file:

My need result line:

eventcombmt.exe /file:"C:\Temp\servers.txt";

Can anyone see my problem with escaping this one "

Thanks,

Mike

It most likely has to do with the @ symbol you're using. That symbol is used to signify that the string is already as you would like it, and to ignore escape characters. I know you're only using it in front of the strings you want to use it in front of, but it might not be possible to mix them that way. I would just do this:

String Commandstr1 = "C:\\Temp\\eventcombMT.exe /file:\"C:\\Temp\\servers.txt";

I tryied removing the @, but it still does not like it.

I need to have the " in the string code for the app that I'm passing it to.

When using the @ sign you should use "" for quotes.

i.e.

@"eventcombmt.exe /file:""C:\Temp\servers.txt"";"

String Commandstr1 = @"C:\Temp\eventcombMT.exe /file:""C:\Temp\servers.txt""";
