Hello there,
Is there a way to de-quote a string. My intension is to remove the quotes from a input string.
Thanx in advance.

Provided that there are no "quoted quote characters", you can simply use Convert() function.
Another technique is to remove the first and final characters using a substring technique.
Code: Select all
TheQuotedString[2,Len(TheQuotedString)-2]
You may need to trim off leading and trailing white space first. Use TrimF() and TrimB() functions, or Trim() with "B" as the third argument.
