[B]Double Quotes within a string[/B]

[hari-babu]

(setq FILEPATH "D:\\test\\csvextract\\Errorlog.txt") ;[b]FILEPATH[/b] is a variable

 

I want to write below line as it is to a text file. Assume that is "D:\\dummy.txt"

 

(see "notepad" "D:\\test\\csvextract\\Errorlog.txt")

 

I want to use FILEPATH variable to achieve the above line in that text file. please help.

Hi Hari-babu,

 

 

use \" , try : (strcat "hi " "Hari-babu") or (strcat "hi "\"Hari-babu\"") to see the difference...

typed in command prompt:

 

Command: (strcat "hi "\"Hari-babu\"")

; error: bad argument type: stringp nil

 

 

i have corrected that:

 

Command: (strcat "hi " "\"Hari-babu\"")

"hi \"Hari-babu\""

 

But this line is too complex for me. by using a variable filepath.

(see "notepad" "D:\\test\\csvextract\\Errorlog.txt")

typed in command prompt:

 

Command: (strcat "hi "\"Hari-babu\"")

; error: bad argument type: stringp nil

 

 

 

oops , typed to fast...

 

 

better example : (action_tile "ask" "(setq #RplAddOnStartup \"0\")") , for use in a dialog action tile

 

 

(write-line "(setvar \"sdi\" 1)" fp) , for use to write to a script file , so the line written will be (setvar "sdi" 1)

 

 

Hopes this is a correct example

so far i came until this, but i need another " before D

 

Command: (strcat "(see " "\"notepad\"" " " filepath ")")

"(see \"notepad\" D:\\test\\csvextract\\errorlog.txt)"

Just see my example :-

(defun c:1 (/ a b c)
 (setq a (getfiled "Specify Output File" "c:/" "txt" 1))
 (setq b (open a "w"))
 (setq c "D:\\test\\csvextract\\Errorlog.txt")
 (write-line (strcat "see \"notepad\" \"" c "\"") b)
 (close b)
 (prompt (strcat "\nFile = " a))
 (princ)
)

Command: (strcat "(see " "\"notepad\"" " " filepath ")")

"(see \"notepad\" D:\\test\\csvextract\\errorlog.txt)"

 

Check it

(strcat "(see \"notepad\" \"" filepath "\")")

[hari-babu]

 

yes, that is so great for me.

 

 

Thank You Boss.
