“”

Syntax "characters"

Action Creates a string value containing the character sequence between the matching quotes.

Examples "System:Frontier 1.0:"

   » System:Frontier 1.0:

File system paths are just string values.

"clock.now ()"

   » clock.now ()

Since clock.now () is within a pair of quotes, the verb is not called; it is just like any other character sequence, with no special behavior.

“He said "scripting is fun!"”

   » He said "scripting is fun!"

This example illustrates how one style of quotes can be used to contain the other.

Notes As shown in the last example, a string's characters can include the type of quotes that are not being used to enclose the characters; straight quotes can enclose curly quotes, and vice-versa.
