Missing closing quote? Topic is solved

[chinagreenelvis]

Code: Select all

If (!LoopNumber)
{
	LoopNumber++
	IniList .= "`"" A_LoopField ".lst`": `"All Games`""
}
Else
{
	IniList .= "`, `"" A_LoopField ".lst`": `"" A_LoopField "`""
}

The result is supposed to look something like this:

Code: Select all

"DOSBox.lst": "All Games", "DOSBox_Multi-Disc.lst": "Multi-Disc", "DOSBox_Cross-Platform.lst": "Cross-Platform"

I keep getting told that both lines need a closing quote, but according to my count I'm spot-on. Any help is appreciated.

You don’t escape quotes with a backtick character. You escape them with another quote character.

Oh, that's weird. Strange. Works now, thanks.

From the documentation:

To include an actual quote-character inside a literal string, specify two consecutive quotes as shown twice in this example: "She said, ""An apple a day.""".

I wouldn't bother with escaping quotes in AutoHotkey, it's more frustration than solution.

Instead

Code: Select all

q := Chr(0x22)
loop parse, % "abc123"
If (A_index & 1 == 1)
{
msgbox % A_Loopfield
	IniList .= q A_LoopField ".lst" q ": " q "All Games" q 
}
Else
{
msgbox % A_Loopfield
	IniList .= ", " q A_LoopField ".lst" q ": " q A_LoopField q
}

MsgBox % inilist
