Concatenation of double quotes (")

kumarsanj

Hi All,

I want to run a shell command shown below

reports "Component Report" nographic write

As we know axlshell doesn't allow double quotes inside so I am trying to concatenate with strcat, however I am facing a problem with the double quotes. I also tried with \”, but unable to build a string as shown above. Does anyone have an idea, how can a double quotes can be concatenated in a string.

Thanks,

Sanjeev

    Thanks Dave for the response.

    Once we run the above command in skill window, below result popped up.
    "reports \"Component Report\" nographic write"
    Actually we should not get the slash symbol, however it appears in the result.

    Regards,

    That is correct. This is just how the string is displayed.

    Thanks Dave. It works fine once I run the axlshell command with your suggested answer.
