quotes inside quotes?

[zovirl 0]

Ok, how do you put quotes inside a string?  As an example, I want a hint that says something like this:

Run to the "camp" quickly!

(What I actually want is to have a hint statement inside a foreach statement, which would require nested quotes.)

I have one question too...

What if I want to exec

[_x] exec "blabla.sqs"

for every unit in array with foreach command?

"[_x] exec "blabla.sqs"" foreach ArrayOfunits <-? :-)

You could try the single quote ' instead - Works for SQL statments.

I already tried it... But unfortunetly it doesn't work ;-)

About [_x] exec "blabla.sqs":

You could try this:

s="blabla.sqs"; "[_x] exec s" foreach ArrayOfunits

Don't know how to get quotes inside strings, though.

I tried this:

_Array = + list tEast

_Script = "print.sqs"

[player] exec _Script

"[_x] exec _Script" foreach _Array

"_x setdammage 1" foreach _Array

exit

The line where it prints out the player works. The foreach with the print doesn't work. The setdammage works. So what I am thinking is that inside it is still choking on the nested quotes. Anyone from BIS care to comment on this? Is there any way to do this?

I saw that in sqm file:

init="this addweaponcargo [""M21"",5]; this addmagazinecargo [""M21"",25]";

So maybe we can use the same syntax in our scripts?

Interesting. Think I'll try those double quotes.

Doesn't seem to work elsewhere. That is odd...isn't it the same reader? At least for working through arrays of objects, you can write your own loop using the count statement. Still, it seems like there should be a way to nest quotes...

Still wish BIS would just answer this and save us a bunch of time (of course, the problem is that the "answer this" part of that really means "answer this and a millon other questions" and they are already busy...)
