Re: how to assign empty single quotes into a string

Just for clarity - you want the value of $a to be a string containing two single-quote (apostrophe) characters? If so, try this:

use strict;
my $a = "''";
print "$a\n";

As an aside, if you use <code> tags when posting, it makes it a lot easier to figure out what you mean...

This is so much easier now than in the BASIC years when you had to write `chr$(34)` to get a double quote.	[reply] [d/l]
