How to have double quotes in sprintf?

SSR

Hi,

 

When I run the following its printing the cmd with the \ in it ("The final result is \"PASS\" !!!").

sprintf(cmd "The final result is \"PASS\" !!!")

 

But i'm expecting to have the following result. How could i modify the above line to print the following? I would like to have the PASS to have the double quotes as mentioned below.

"The final result is "PASS" !!!"

I'm trying to do the following and the memory usage portion of the following command requires to have the double quotes in it.

sprintf(cmd "bsub -I -q layout -n 24 -R "rusage[mem=128000] span[hosts=1]" calibredrv")

cid=ipcSkillProcess(cmd)

 

Thanks

Ram

  • Ram,

    The string doesn’t actually contain the backslashes and does indeed just contain the quotation marks. If you do:

    printf(“%s\n” cmd)

    you won’t see the backslashes (just the quotation marks) because they are not actually present. The backslashes are required when adding a quotation mark within a literal string to prevent the quotation mark from ending the string. When values containing embedded quotation marks are shown as return values in the CIW or printed with println, then the embedded quotation marks are shown so that the displayed value could be copied and reused as valid input.
