Searching for the Double Quote character

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I have a project where I need to search for a double quote (“) in a string. I will need to do this in LotusScript, Formula, and JavaScript. None of them are happy with a double quote inside of two double quotes (”“”). Has anyone figured out how to do this before? Here is my LotusScript code segment;

'/// Remove double quote

If Instr (oldID, “”") > 0 Then

strFront = Left(oldID, Instr (oldID, “”") - 1)

strBack = Right(oldID, Len(oldID) - Instr (oldID, “”") )

newID = strFront & strBack

End If

In Lotusscript, you can enclose any string (including double-quote) within vertical bars.for example: |"|

In Javascript, you can enclose any string within single quotes.

for example: ‘"’

In Formula language, precede the double-quote with a backslash.

for example: “"”
