ANSI string problem

Expand Post »

I am used to using:

char *str;

to make a string but recently have changed to using the ANSI string class as its a lot more powerful and easier to use... BUT i have a problem!

when I have encountered a string which conatins a " character I have used the following for a c-style string

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

char *str = 'quote = "hello"';

Which means it will contain "quote = "hello""
However i have a line of code which is

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

string str = '<tr><td><img src="log_error.bmp"></td><td><b>';

but it gives an error. It seems like the new ANSI string wont accept the ' character. Does anyone know how i can write that string to include the " characters around the bmp filename?

Re: ANSI string problem

You inspired me to add one more item to my code snippet on std::string ...
[php] // use \" for embedded double quotes
string s1 = "<tr><td><img src=\"log_error.bmp\"></td><td><b>";
cout << s1 << endl << endl;
[/php]
