Have you tried charToNum and numToChar?
you won't be able to remove the " so it will
look like "'mystring'"
Why do you need the quotes removed anyway?
A string is a string is a string.
If you're looking to extract a variable name,
meaning turing "mystring" into mystring, then
use value.
mystring = 5
put the text of "myfield" into val
put val
--"mystring"
put value(val)
-- 5
Is that what you want?
