Use the Run Command function in MapBasic. You can write multiple " to
signify a ".
E.g.
to place a SHADE WINDOW command in a MapBasic Program try
szCommand = "Shade window "+FrontWindow()+" 1 with "+ColumnInfo(MYTABLE,
"col1", COL_INFO_NAME)+" ignore """" values """+szMyValue+""" Brush
(2,16711680,16777215) Pen (1,2,0) default Brush (2,65280,16777215) Pen
(1,2,0)"
Run Command szCommand
Will produce the following line
Shade Window 12345678 1 with COLUMN1NAME ignore "" values "MYVAL" Brush
(2,16711680,16777215) Pen (1,2,0) default Brush (2,65280,16777215) Pen
(1,2,0)
Obviously some artistic license has been used with the names, but you get
the gist?
Hope this helps,

Hi Michelle
You may need to try using Chr$(34) instead of ".
Good Luck

Hi, I have a program that only exports files to NonEarth (it's a bug in
their software) I'm trying to write a MB app that will read in their MIF
file, replace with an appropriate projection and then import into Mapinfo.
However the string that defines the projection has "m" within it, ie the
inverted comma's need to be part of the string. I've tried "&"m"&" but that
doesn't work. I KNOW theirs a way of doing this, but how? (the rest works
fine!) Help appreciated, Thanks, Michelle, Melbourne, Australia
