Escaping

Oct 6th, 2006

Hi everyone,

I need to ask a rather silly question on escaping quotes so please bear with me for a while.

As i am using java this is what i usually do to escape quotes

Help with Code Tags

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

"/"Test"/"

It usually works but my question is that is this a platform independent way of doing it?

If not then what is the paltform independent way of doing it?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank You

Yours Sincerely

Richard West

Microsoft uses "One World, One Web, One Program" as a slogan.
Doesn’t that sound like "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer" to you, too?

Tell me what type of software do you like and what would you pay for it

I think the proper way to escape Quotes is

"Here is some \"Text inside Quotes\"" :rolleyes:

And no. It's not platform-independent.. That would be the File Separator, which is "\" in Windows and "/" in Unix (as an example).. In Java, \ always escapes the following character.
