    using qutes in a string

    I have this line:
    Code:
    strUnwanted = "~`!@#$%^&*()_-+={}|[]\:;'<>?,./";
    It's part of a function I'm making to strip out unwanted characters. I also need " to be stripped out. How can I include it in the about string?

    On other languages, I have called it as a chr(34) so it reads the ASCII(?) value - but I had to treat it separate and couldn't have it as part of a string of unwanted characters.

    Just escape it:
    "\""

    Also note that your above string is bad because it will read the \ and then escape the next character which is :. So you need to have \\ instead.

    Code:
    strUnwanted = "~`!@#$%^&*()_-+={}|[]\\:;'<>?,./\"";
