Where are you storing it? How you proceed depends on the quotation rules of whatever storage medium you're using. For example, if you were pasting that into a C++ string literal, you would need to escape the quotations for it to work:

"Set autoUpdateClient = CreateObject(\"Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate\",strComputer)"

whenever you wish to print or store code that is recognized as system code (meaning it will not be printed) such as quotes in a printf or cout, or things like that, you must include a "\" before the code... i.e.:

\"
\\
\%

etc...
