String parameter

Hi all, I have a simple code to show only Metal layers on the keyboard pressing (1,2,3 ..) i.m trying to pass a string as a parameter for a function but i get an error as my string is inside another.

here is the code:

procedure( showMetal(layer)
pteSetActiveLpp(layer)
pteSetNoneVisible(?panel "Layers")
);procedure

hiSetBindKeys( "Layout" list(
list("<key>1" "showMetal("M1 drawing")" "bindKeyCommand1()")
list("<key>2" "showMetal("M2 drawing")" "bindKeyCommand2()")
list("<key>3" "showMetal("M3 drawing")" "bindKeyCommand3()")
list("<key>4" "showMetal("M4 drawing")" "bindKeyCommand4()")
list("<key>5" "showMetal("M5 drawing")" "bindKeyCommand5()")
)) ;; hiSetBindKeys

The error appears at the part: list("<key>1" "showMetal("M1 drawing")" "bindKeyCommand1()") as M1 drawing is string, so how should i approach this? is it concatenation or something else?

Thanks in advance.

A quotation mark within a string needs to be escaped with a backslash. So they should be:

"showMetal(\"M1 drawing\")"
