You have two options: Option one: Put the string between single quotes $a = '"Test Test Test"';
Option two: $a = q("Test Test Test"); Regards Robert Graham -----Original Message----- From: Hubert Ian M. Tabug [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 January 2002 12:02 To: Perl Subject: Adding quotes to a string variable Hello, I have a variable say $a = "Test Test Test" whose contents when printed out is Test Test Test. I want the said variable to have the quotes appended, meaning it will print out "Test Test Test" and the variable will contain the quotes as well. Is that possible? You help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
