Examples

This example shows how to use quotes inside a string in LabTalk

str$="expression=%(quote)col(1)=col(2)+1%(quote)";
str$=;// should print "expression="col(1)=col(2)+1""
int i = str.Find('"');
i=;//-->12
// same as '"' when used as a string function argument:
i=str.Find(quote, i+1); 
i=;//-->28
i=str.Count('"');
i=;//-->2
i=str.Count(quote);
i=;//--> also 2

Similar issues exist for new lines,

str$="line1%(CRLF)line2%(CRLF)line3";
type str$;
type "str has $(str.GetNumTokens(CRLF)) lines";
//should print:
//line1
//line2
//line3
//str has 3 lines

In this example, system List Separator is comma (",")

string str1="abc;efg,fjk";
int nn = str1.GetNumTokens(SLIST);
nn = ;
        
for(i=1;i<=nn;i++)
{
        string str$ = str1.GetToken(i, SLIST)$;
        type "$(i): %(str$)";
}
// should print
// nn=2
// 1: abc;efg
// 2: fjk
